Mid-IR Tully-Fisher relation with WISE & 2MTF
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a mid-infrared Tully-Fisher (TF) relation using photometry from the 3.4{mu}m W1 band of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite.
Description
The WISE TF relation is formed from 568 galaxies taken from the all-sky 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) galaxy catalog, spanning a range of environments including field, group, and cluster galaxies. This constitutes the largest mid-infrared TF relation constructed to date.
After applying a number of corrections to galaxy magnitudes and line widths, we measure a master TF relation given by M_corr_=-22.24-10.05[log(W_corr_)-2.5], with an average dispersion of {sigma}_WISE_=0.686mag. There is some tension between WISE TF and a preliminary 3.6{mu}m relation, which has a shallower slope and almost no intrinsic dispersion. However, our results agree well with a more recent relation constructed from a large sample of cluster galaxies.

We additionally compare WISE TF to the near-infrared 2MTF template relations, finding a good agreement between the TF parameters and total dispersions of WISE TF and the 2MTF K-band template. This fact, coupled with typical galaxy colors of (K-W1)~0, suggests that these two bands are tracing similar stellar populations, including the older, centrally-located stars in the galactic bulge which can (for galaxies with a prominent bulge) dominate the light profile.
