Stellar masses in nearby disc galaxies
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The study of scaling relations of disc galaxies and their evolution across cosmic time requires accurate estimates of galaxy stellar masses Mstar over broad redshift ranges.
Description
While photometric Mstar estimates (Mphot) based on spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling methods are employed routinely at high-z, it is unclear to what extent these are compatible with dynamical Mstar estimates (Mdyn), available for nearby galaxies.
Here we compare newly determined, SED-model based Mphot with previously obtained Mdyn inferred via rotation curve decomposition techniques in a sample of ~100 nearby galaxies from the SPARC database. We find that the two mass estimates show a systematic agreement at the 12% (0.05dex) level and a ~55% (0.22dex) scatter across almost 5dex in Mstar. Our Mphot estimates correspond to mass-to-light ratios in the 3.6um band that increase gradually with 3.6um luminosity, as a consequence of the earlier (later) assembly history of high-mass (low-mass) disc galaxies.

The choice of using either Mdyn or Mphot has only a marginal impact on the slope and zero-point of the Tully-Fisher and Fall relations: the observed orthogonal scatter in both relations is virtually the same for the two methods, and indistinguishable from that derived using a constant mass-to-light ratio in the 3.6um band. Mstar estimates based on the assumption that discs are marginally stable lead to the largest scatter in the scaling relations.
