MaNGA and ATLAS3D ETGs kinematic data

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

This study aims to make a comparative analysis of galaxy kinematics using IllustrisTNG simulations and integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) observations.

Description

We identify 2342 early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the TNG100 simulation and 236 ETGs from the TNG50 simulation to compare with those from MaNGA and ATLAS^3D^ surveys. For these systems, we measure key kinematic parameters widely employed in both observational and simulation-based studies, including the intrinsic spin parameter {lambda}_R,intr_ (it indicates that the {lambda}_R_ parameter is measured when the galaxy is viewed edge-on), the cylindrical rotational energy fraction {kappa}_rot_, and structural mass ratios such as the spheroid mass fraction f_spheroid_ and the stellar halo mass fraction f_halo_.

This study performs a comparative kinematic analysis of early-type galaxies using IllustrisTNG simulations and IFS data from MaNGA and ATLAS^3D^ . We demonstrate that standard classifiers --- the {lambda}_R_(Re)=0.31 SQRT(epsilon) relation and k_5_{bar} coefficient (the higher-order term of the Fourier decomposition of velocity fields) --- fail to align with kinematic bimodality. Revised thresholds are proposed: the spin {lambda}_R,intr_~0.4, the ratio of rotation energy {kappa}_rot_~0.5, and the mass fraction of a spheroid component f_spheroid_~0.6.

It provides a universal threshold that classifies all kinds of galaxies into rotation-dominated (fast rotators) and random motion-dominated (slow rotators) cases. Scaling relations derived from TNG enable estimation of {kappa}_rot_ and f_spheroid_ from observations. TNG simulations exhibit a bimodality deficit, characterized by a lack of fast rotators and suppressed {lambda}_R,intr_, attributable to excess galaxies with intermediate rotation and high spheroid/stellar halo mass.

A novel method for estimating stellar halo mass fractions from IFS kinematics is introduced, though significant uncertainties persist.
