Empirical Laws of Galactic Rotation Flat rotation curves (Rubin-Bosma Law) Rotation curves tend asymptotically towards a constant rotation velocity that persists to indefinitely large radii: V (R!1)! V f Tully-Fisher relation (Luminous, Stellar Mass, and Baryonic TF relations) The baryonic mass of galaxies scales as the fourth power of the flat rotation velocity: M b = AVf 4 <latexit sha1_base64="n/zqwictykrswvnh8ie/bndvhwm=">aaab6xicbvdlsgnbeoynrxhfuy9ebopgkexkwhgqil68cbhma5j1mz3mjknmh870cihkj7wonhr/xl/wb5wke0liwubrvun3tz9iodg2f63c2vrg5lz+u7czu7d/udw8auo4vyw3wcxj1fap5ljeviecjw8nitpql7zld2+nfuufky3i6bfhcxdd2o9eibhfi7n3nk+uyq1pesftxsuw7li9a1kltkzkkkhufx+6vziliy+qsap1x7etdmduowcstwrdvpoesiht8/fs1qk5m1kpbleyl0iyuxdynnr6fpomgvic6gvvkv7ndvimqu5yremkpglzqueqcczk2pv0hoim5cgqypqwgxi2oioynncpmoroctfv0rgox5xth0qpvs1ukictoivzcoasanahdwgag2d4g0/4sqt1ar1bh/nozsr+hmmcro8/tk6mcq==</latexit> Rotation curve shape varies with luminosity (Persic-Salucci universal rotation curve ) The shape of rotation curves varies systematically with luminosity, declining mildly at high L and rising slowly at low L: V (R) =F (L, R d ) Central density relation (lower surface brightness galaxies exhibit larger mass discrepancies) The central dynamical surface densities of galaxies is related to their central surface brightnesses: dyn (R! 0) = f[ (R! 0)] Renzo s rule (Sancisi s Law) For any feature in the luminosity profile there is a corresponding feature in the rotation curve and vice versa. (Sancisi 2004). Radial acceleration relation (Milgrom s Law) The observed centripetal acceleration is related to that predicted by the observed distribution of baryons: g obs = F(g bar ) g bar = V bar 2 R

3 Rotation curves tend asymptotically towards a constant rotation velocity that persists to indefinitely large radii: V / const M R R 2 Optical data from Rubin, Thonnard, & Ford 1978, ApJ, 225, L107 Presumably this behavior cannot persist indefinitely, but there are no clear counter-examples.

4 Cases where rotation curves were thought to perhaps be declining have so far turned out to flatten. DDO 154 de Blok et al. (2008 [THINGS]): We do not find steep declines in velocity in the outer rotation curves of NGC 3521, NGC 7793, DDO 154, and NGC Where declines are observed, they are gentler, and (within the uncertainties in rotation velocity and inclination) consistent with flat rotation curves.

6 Mass models van Albada et al. (1985) V 2 tot = V 2 disk + V 2 halo

7 Tully-Fisher: Rotation curve amplitude correlates with observed mass: star dominated HSB gas dominated LSBs Flat rotation curves continue to occur in quite small systems (e.g., Leo P with Vf ~ 15 km/s)

8 Tully & Fisher (1977) Great for distance scale work. But why does it happen? Abs. Mag. line-width

9 Observables Luminosity (must calibrate with known D) Band pass (BVRIJHK) [slope varies with band] Mass - stars, gas, stars+gas Rotation Velocity line-widths; rotation curves W 20, W50; Vflat, V2.2, Vmax inclination corrections 1/ sin(i) turbulence/non-circular motions

10 Luminosity measures Band pass slope becomes steeper from bluer to redder bands (B I H) Worry about internal extinction, especially for blue bands and highly inclined galaxies Mass Can convert luminosity to stellar mass by estimating the stellar M/L via population modeling.

14 Tully-Fisher relation H-band Luminosity Bothun et al. (1985) Sakai et al. (2001) Luminosity and line-width are presumably proxies for stellar mass and rotation velocity. line-width

15 Stellar Mass Tully-Fisher relation Bothun et al. (1985) Sakai et al. (2001) nominal M*/L (Kroupa IMF) Stellar Mass M = M L L line-width

16 Stellar Mass Tully-Fisher relation Bothun et al. (1985) Sakai et al. (2001) double M*/L Stellar Mass...but stellar mass is completely dependent on choice of mass-tolight ratio (and degenerate with distance) line-width

17 Stellar Mass Tully-Fisher relation Bothun et al. (1985) Sakai et al. (2001) nominal M*/L Stellar Mass...but stellar mass is completely dependent on choice of mass-tolight ratio (and degenerate with distance) line-width

18 Stellar Mass Tully-Fisher relation Bothun et al. (1985) Sakai et al. (2001) half M*/L Stellar Mass...but stellar mass is completely dependent on choice of mass-tolight ratio (and degenerate with distance) line-width

19 Stark, McGaugh, & Swaters et al. (2009) If you want to use Vflat, you have to observe far enough out to measure it. log log R < 0.1 OK works well as a criterion. Scatter in TF increases as threshold weakened. marginal

20 Scatter in TF relation reduced with resolved rotation curves (Verheijen 2001) Stellar Mass TF Stellar Mass Stellar Mass line-width outer (flat) velocity

21 Stellar Mass TF Low mass galaxies tend to fall below extrapolation of linear fit to fast rotators (Matthews, van Driel, & Gallagher 1998; Freeman 1999) M = M L L Stellar Mass outer (flat) velocity

22 Gas Mass TF Gas mass by itself does NOT produce a good TF relation, at least for fast rotators. M g =1.4M HI Gas Mass outer (flat) velocity

23 Stellar Mass TF M = M L L Stellar Mass outer (flat) velocity

24 Baryonic TF Adding gas to stellar mass restores a single continuous relation for all rotators. M b = M + M g Baryonic Mass Baryonic mass is the important physical quantity. It doesn t matter whether the mass is in stars or in gas. outer (flat) velocity

25 Baryonic TF Twice Nominal M*/L Now instead of a translation, the slope pivots as we vary M*/L. Baryonic Mass Scatter increases as we diverge from the nominal M*/L. outer (flat) velocity

26 Baryonic TF Nominal M*/L Now instead of a translation, the slope pivots as we vary M*/L. Baryonic Mass Scatter increases as we diverge from the nominal M*/L. outer (flat) velocity

27 Baryonic TF Half Nominal M*/L Now instead of a translation, the slope pivots as we vary M*/L. Baryonic Mass Scatter increases as we diverge from the nominal M*/L. outer (flat) velocity

28 Baryonic TF Quarter Nominal M*/L Now instead of a translation, the slope pivots as we vary M*/L. Baryonic Mass Scatter increases as we diverge from the nominal M*/L. outer (flat) velocity

29 Baryonic TF Zero M*/L Now instead of a translation, the slope pivots as we vary M*/L. Baryonic Mass Scatter increases as we diverge from the nominal M*/L. outer (flat) velocity

30 Low mass galaxies considerably expand range of the TF relation. Gas dominated galaxies can provide absolute calibration of mass scale.

31 Gotta believe the data. Biggest challenge for low mass systems is the inclination e.g., Begum et al. (2008) estimate inclinations from both optical and HI morphology. Only half agree to within 12% in sin(i).

44 No residuals from TF with size or surface density Same (M,V) but very different size and surface density which is strange, since V 2 = GM R

45 No residuals from TF with size or surface brightness (Zwaan et al 1995; Sprayberry et al 1995; McGaugh & de Blok 1998)

47 Baryonic TF Relation Fundamentally a relation between the baryonic mass of a galaxy and its rotation velocity M b = M* + Mg = 47 Vf 4 (McGaugh 2012) doesn t matter if it is stars or gas Intrinsic scatter negligibly small Can mostly be accounted for by the expected variation in stellar M*/L Physical basis of the relation remains unclear Relation has real physical units if slope has integer value - Slope appears to be 4 if Vflat is used.
