Evidence for a large stellar bar in the Low Surface Brightness galaxy UGC 7321
Late-type spiral galaxies are thought to be the dynamically simplest type of disk galaxy and our understanding of their properties plays a key role in galaxy formation and evolution scenarios. The low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy UGC 7321, a nearby, isolated, ``superthin'' edge-on galaxy, is an ideal object to study these purely disk-dominated
