Abstract

We use the stellar kinematics for 24582458 galaxies from the MaNGA survey to explore dynamical scaling relations between the stellar mass MM_{\star} and the total velocity parameter at the effective radius, ReR_e, defined as SK2=KVRe2+σe2S_{K}^{2}=KV_{R_e}^{2}+\sigma_{\star_e}^{2}, which combines rotation velocity VReV_{R_e}, and velocity dispersion σe\sigma_{\star_e}. We confirm that spheroidal and spiral galaxies follow the same MS0.5M_{\star}-S_{0.5} scaling relation with lower scatter than the MVReM_{\star}-V_{R_e} and MσeM_{\star}-\sigma_{\star_e} ones. We also explore a more general Universal Fundamental Plane described by the equation log(Υe)=log(S0.52)log(Ie)log(Re)+Clog(\Upsilon_{e}) = log (S_{0.5}^{2}) - log (I_{e}) - log (R_{e}) + C, which in addition to kinematics, S0.5S_{0.5}, and effective radius, ReR_e, it includes surface brightness, IeI_e, and dynamical mass-to-light ratio, Υe\Upsilon_e. We use sophisticated Schwarzschild dynamical models for a sub-sample of 300 galaxies from the CALIFA survey to calibrate the so called Universal Fundamental Plane. That calibration allows us to propose both: (i) a parametrization to estimate the difficult-to-measure dynamical mass-to-light ratio at the effective radius; and (ii) a new dynamical mass proxy consistent with dynamical models within 0.09 dex0.09\ dex. We reproduce the relation between the dynamical mass and the stellar mass in the inner regions of galaxies. We use the estimated dynamical mass-to-light ratio from our analysis, Υefit\Upsilon_{e}^{fit}, to explore the Universal Fundamental Plane with the MaNGA data set. We find that all classes of galaxies, from spheroids to disks, follow this Universal Fundamental Plane with a scatter significantly smaller (0.05 dex)(0.05\ dex) than the one reported for the MS0.5M_{\star}-S_{0.5} relation (0.1 dex)(0.1\ dex), the Fundamental Plane (0.09 dex)(\sim 0.09\ dex) and comparable with Tully-Fisher studies (0.05 dex)(\sim 0.05\ dex), but for a wider range of galaxy types.
