Results of the BV model of the stellar tangential velocity map of the LMC NN complete sample: strength (upper row) and phase angle (lower row, ϕ2, kin) of the bisymmetric Fourier mode. The black solid line is the fitted axisymmetric velocity component (the rotation curve), the grey line is the median velocity (initial value for the model), the blue dashed curve is the strength of the tangential bisymmetry, and the orange dotted line is the scatter of the model. The vertical light coral area and dashed line shows the adopted bar corotation radius of the LMC, Rc = 4.20 ± 0.25 kpc. In the bottom panel, we show the angular velocity of the LMC as a function of radius. The vertical light coral area and dashed line show the corotation radius of the bar. The horizontal green area and dotted line shows the corresponding bar pattern speed km s−1 kpc−1.
