The Spectroscopy and H-band Imaging of Virgo Cluster Galaxies (SHIVir) survey: Scaling relations and the stellar-to-total mass relation

Journal article

We present here parameter distributions and fundamental scaling relations for 190 galaxies as part of the Spectroscopy and H-bang Imaging of Virgo cluster galaxies (SHIVir) survey. We find the distribution of galaxy velocities to be bimodal about $V_{\rm circ} \sim 125$ km ${\rm s^{-1}}$, hinting at the existence of dynamically unstable modes in the inner regions of galaxies. An analysis of the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) of late-type galaxies (LTGs) and fundamental plane (FP) of early-type g...
