摘要
We study the locus of dwarf and giant early- and late-type galaxies on the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR), the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation (sTFR), and the so-called baryonic or H I gas+ stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation (gsTFR). We show that early- type and late-type galaxies, from dwarfs to giants, trace different yet approximately parallel TFRs. Surprisingly, early- type and late-type galaxies trace a single yet curved sTFR over a range of 3.5 orders of magnitude in stellar mass. Moreover, all galaxies trace a single, linear gsTFR, over 3.5 orders of magnitude in H I gas+ stellar mass. Dwarf ellipticals, however, lie slightly below the gsTFR. This may indicate that early- type dwarfs, contrary to the late types, have lost their gas, e. g., by galactic winds or ram pressure stripping. Overall, environment only plays a secondary role in shaping these relations, making them a rather "clean'' cosmological tool. Lambda CDM simulations predict roughly the correct slopes for these relations.
