Extract

A large number of barred spiral galaxies contain a ring-like structure surrounding the bar. This is known as an inner ring if the bar terminates at the ring. Structures which are not closed but which appear to be related phenomena are given the name pseudo-inner rings by de Vaucouleurs (1959).
