We use the stellar kinematics for $2458$ galaxies from the MaNGA survey to explore dynamical scaling relations between the stellar mass $M_{star}$ and the total velocity parameter at the effective radius, $R_e$, defined as $S_{K}^{2}=KV_{R_e}^{2}+sigma_{star_e}^{2}$, which combines rotation velocity $V_{R_e}$, and velocity dispersion $sigma_{star_e}$. We confirm that spheroidal and spiral galaxies follow the same $M_{star}-S_{0.5}$ scaling relation with lower scatter than the $M_{star}-V_{R_e}$ and $M_{star}-sigma_{star_e}$ ones. We also explore a more general Universal Fundamental Plane described by the equation $log(Upsilon_{e}) = log (S_{0.5}^{2}) - log (I_{e}) - log (R_{e}) + C$, which in addition to kinematics, $S_{0.5}$, and effective radius, $R_e$, it includes surface brightness, $I_e$, and dynamical mass-to-light ratio, $Upsilon_e$. 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 $0.09 dex$. 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, $Upsilon_{e}^{fit}$, 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 $(0.05 dex)$ than the one reported for the $M_{star}-S_{0.5}$ relation $(0.1 dex)$, the Fundamental Plane $(sim 0.09 dex)$ and comparable with Tully-Fisher studies $(sim 0.05 dex)$, but for a wider range of galaxy types.

Strong scaling relations between host galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, bulge mass, luminosity, effective radius etc) and their nuclear supermassive black holes mass point towards a close co-evolution. In this work, we first review previous efforts supporting the fundamental importance of the relation between supermassive black hole mass and stellar velocity dispersion ($M_{rm BH}$-$sigma_{rm e}$). We then present further original work supporting this claim via analysis of residuals and principal component analysis applied to some among the latest compilations of local galaxy samples with dynamically measured supermassive black hole masses. We conclude with a review of the main physical scenarios in favour of the existence of a $M_{rm BH}$-$sigma_{rm e}$ relation, with a focus on momentum-driven outflows.
We analyze the emission line profiles detected in deep optical spectra of quasars to derive the mass of their super-massive black holes (SMBH) following the single-epoch virial method. Our sample consists in 6 radio-loud quasars and 4 radio-quiet quasars. We carefully fit a broad and narrow Gaussian component for each emission line in both the H$beta$ (10 objects) and H$alpha$ regions (5 objects). A very good agreement of the derived SMBH masses, $M_{rm SMBH}$, is found using the fitted broad H$beta$ and H$alpha$ emission lines. We compare our $M_{rm SMBH}$ results with those found by previous studies. We study the relationship between the $M_{rm SMBH}$ of the quasar and the stellar velocity dispersion, $sigma_{*}$, of the host galaxy. We use the measured $M_{rm SMBH}$ and $sigma_{*}$ to investigate the $M_{rm SMBH}$ - $sigma_{*}$ relation for both the radio-loud and radio-quiet subsamples. Besides the scatter, we find a good agreement between radio-quiet quasars and AGN+quiescent galaxies and between radio-loud quasars and AGN. Our analysis does not support the hypothesis of using $sigma$([O III] $lambda$5007) as a surrogate for stellar velocity dispersions in high-mass, high-luminosity quasars. We also investigate the relationship between the 5 GHz radio-continuum luminosity, $L_{rm~5,GHz}$, of the quasar host galaxy with both $M_{rm SMBH}$ and $sigma_{*}$. We do not find any correlation between $L_{rm 5,GHz}$ and $M_{rm SMBH}$, although we observe a trend that galaxies with larger stellar velocity dispersions have larger $L_{rm 5,GHz}$. Using the results of our fitting for the narrow emission lines of [O III] $lambda$5007 and [N II] $lambda$6583 we estimate the gas-phase oxygen abundance of six quasars, being sub-solar in all cases.
We have studied, in a series of papers, the properties of the $M_{bullet}$ versus $M_{G}sigma^2$ relation and we have found that it is useful to describe the evolution of galaxies in the same way as the HR diagram does for stars and to predict the masses of Supermassive Black Holes that are difficult to be guessed using other scaling relations. In this paper, analyzing five samples of galaxies, we find that this relation has intrinsic scatter similar to the $M_{bullet} - sigma$, but follows the theoretical models much better than the $M_{bullet} - sigma$. Furthermore, we analyze the role of the bulge mass in the behavior of $M_{bullet}$ versus $M_{G}sigma^2$ relation because the difference with the $M_{bullet} - sigma$ is often determined by the choice of the right sample of galactic masses.
We present a re-calibration of the $M_{BH}-sigma_{star}$ relation, based on a sample of 16 reverberation-mapped galaxies with newly determined bulge stellar velocity dispersions ($sigma_{star}$) from integral-field spectroscopy (IFS), and a sample of 32 quiescent galaxies with publicly available IFS. For both samples, $sigma_{star}$ is determined via two different methods that are popular in the literature, and we provide fits for each sample based on both sets of $sigma_{star}$. We find the fit to the AGN sample is shallower than the fit to the quiescent galaxy sample, and that the slopes for each sample are in agreement with previous investigations. However, the intercepts to the quiescent galaxy relations are notably higher than those found in previous studies, due to the systematically lower $sigma_{star}$ measurements that we obtain from IFS. We find that this may be driven, in part, by poorly constrained measurements of bulge effective radius ($r_{e}$) for the quiescent galaxy sample, which may bias the $sigma_{star}$ measurements low. We use these quiescent galaxy parameterizations, as well as one from the literature, to recalculate the virial scaling factor $f$. We assess the potential biases in each measurement, and suggest $f=4.82pm1.67$ as the best currently available estimate. However, we caution that the details of how $sigma_{star}$ is measured can significantly affect $f$, and there is still much room for improvement.
The scatter (${rmsigma_{text{sSFR}}}$) of the specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of galaxies is a measure of the diversity in their star formation histories (SFHs) at a given mass. In this paper we employ the EAGLE simulations to study the dependence of the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$ of galaxies on stellar mass (${rm M_{star}}$) through the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$-${rm M_{star}}$ relation in $ {rm z sim 0-4}$. We find that the relation evolves with time, with the dispersion depending on both stellar mass and redshift. The models point to an evolving U-shape form for the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$-${rm M_{star}}$ relation with the scatter being minimal at a characteristic mass $M^{star}$ of ${rm 10^{9.5}}$ ${rm M_{odot}}$ and increasing both at lower and higher masses. This implication is that the diversity of SFHs increases towards both at the low- and high-mass ends. We find that active galactic nuclei feedback is important for increasing the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$ for high mass objects. On the other hand, we suggest that SNe feedback increases the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$ of galaxies at the low-mass end. We also find that excluding galaxies that have experienced recent mergers does not significantly affect the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$-${rm M_{star}}$ relation. Furthermore, we employ the combination of the EAGLE simulations with the radiative transfer code SKIRT to evaluate the effect of SFR/stellar mass diagnostics in the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$-${rm M_{star}}$ relation and find that the ${rm SFR/M_{star}}$ methodologies (e.g. SED fitting, UV+IR, UV+IRX-$beta$) widely used in the literature to obtain intrinsic properties of galaxies have a large effect on the derived shape and normalization of the ${rm sigma_{text{sSFR}}}$-${rm M_{star}}$ relation.
