Central surface densities in SPARC disk galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We use the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database to study the relation between the central surface density of stars {Sigma}_*_(0) and dynamical mass {Sigma}_dyn_(0) in 135 disk galaxies (S0 to dIrr).

Description

We find that {Sigma}_dyn_(0) correlates tightly with {Sigma}_*_(0) over 4dex. This central density relation can be described by a double power law.

High surface brightness galaxies are consistent with a 1:1 relation, suggesting that they are self-gravitating and baryon dominated in the inner parts. Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies systematically deviate from the 1:1 line, indicating that the dark matter contribution progressively increases but remains tightly coupled to the stellar one. The observed scatter is small (~0.2dex) and largely driven by observational uncertainties.

The residuals show no correlations with other galaxy properties like stellar mass, size, or gas fraction.
