Bar lane curvature (shape) of barred PHANGS galaxies (from c1 = 1.0 to c5 = 5.0) as function of bar strength A₂ from Díaz-García et al. (2016a), colored by bar lane length (short: s), long: l). Out of 28 with bar-lane classifications no bar strengths were available for 3 galaxies, and for 2 galaxies, no high-quality curvature classes are available. The bar lane shapes of s and l galaxies are significantly different (KS-test p-value < 5%). No significant trends are found between literature bar strengths of s and l galaxies, nor between bar strengths and bar lane shapes.
