We present tables of velocity dispersions derived from CALIFA V1200 datacubes using Pipe3D. Four different dispersions are extracted from emission (ionized gas) or absorption (stellar) spectra, with two spatial apertures (5 and 30). Stellar and ionized gas dispersions are not interchangeable and we determine their distinguishing features. We also compare these dispersions with literature values and construct sample scaling relations to further assess their applicability. We consider revised velocity-based scaling relations using the virial velocity parameter S_K^2 = K V_rot^2 + sigma^2 constructed with each of our dispersions. Our search for the strongest linear correlation between S_K and i-band absolute magnitudes favors the common K ~ 0.5, though the range 0.3 - 0.8 is statistically acceptable. The reduction of scatter in our best stellar mass-virial velocity relations over that of a classic luminosity-velocity relation is minimal; this may however reflect the dominance of massive spirals in our sample.

We perform a spectroscopic analysis of 492,450 galaxy spectra from the first two years of observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III/Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) collaboration. This data set has been released in the ninth SD SS data release, the first public data release of BOSS spectra. We show that the typical signal-to-noise ratio of BOSS spectra is sufficient to measure stellar velocity dispersion and emission line fluxes for individual objects. The typical velocity dispersion of a BOSS galaxy is 240 km/s, with an accuracy of better than 30 per cent for 93 per cent of BOSS galaxies. The distribution in velocity dispersion is redshift independent between redshifts 0.15 and 0.7, which reflects the survey design targeting massive galaxies with an approximately uniform mass distribution in this redshift interval. The majority of BOSS galaxies lack detectable emission lines. We analyse the emission line properties and present diagnostic diagrams using the emission lines [OII], Hbeta, [OIII], Halpha, and [NII] (detected in about 4 per cent of the galaxies). We show that the emission line properties are strongly redshift dependent and that there is a clear correlation between observed frame colours and emission line properties. Within in the low-z sample around 0.15<z<0.3, half of the emission-line galaxies have LINER-like emission line ratios, followed by Seyfert-AGN dominated spectra, and only a small fraction of a few per cent are purely star forming galaxies. AGN and LINER-like objects, instead, are less prevalent in the high-z sample around 0.4<z<0.7, where more than half of the emission line objects are star forming. This is a pure selection effect caused by the non-detection of weak Hbeta emission lines in the BOSS spectra. Finally, we show that star forming, AGN and emission line free galaxies are well separated in the g-r vs r-i target selection diagram.

We use MMT spectroscopy and deep Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging to compare the spectroscopic central stellar velocity dispersion of quiescent galaxies with the effective dispersion of the dark matter halo derived from the stacked lensing sign al. The spectroscopic survey (the Smithsonian Hectospec Lensing Survey) provides a sample of 4585 quiescent galaxy lenses with measured line-of-sight central stellar velocity dispersion ($sigma_{rm SHELS}$) that is more than 85% complete for $R < 20.6$, $D_{n}4000> 1.5$ and $M_{star} > 10^{9.5}{rm M}_{odot}$. The median redshift of the sample of lenses is 0.32. We measure the stacked lensing signal from the HSC deep imaging. The central stellar velocity dispersion is directly proportional to the velocity dispersion derived from the lensing $sigma_{rm Lens}$, $sigma_{rm Lens} = (1.05pm0.15)sigma_{rm SHELS}+(-21.17pm35.19)$. The independent spectroscopic and weak lensing velocity dispersions probe different scales, $sim3$kpc and $gtrsim$ 100 kpc, respectively, and strongly indicate that the observable central stellar velocity dispersion for quiescent galaxies is a good proxy for the velocity dispersion of the dark matter halo. We thus demonstrate the power of combining high-quality imaging and spectroscopy to shed light on the connection between galaxies and their dark matter halos.
We use near-infrared spectroscopic data from the inner few hundred parsecs of a sample of 47 active galaxies to investigate possible correlations between the stellar velocity dispersion (sigma_star), obtained from the fit of the K-band CO stellar abs orption bands, and the gas velocity dispersion (sigma) obtained from the fit of the emission-line profiles of [SIII]0.953um, [Fe II]1.257um, [FeII]1.644um and H_2 2.122um. While no correlations with sigma_star were found for H_2 and [SIII], a good correlation was found for the two [Fe II] emission lines, expressed by the linear fit sigma_star = 95.4pm16.1 + (0.25pm0.08)sigma_[Fe II]. Excluding barred objects from the sample a better correlation is found between sigma_star and sigma_[FeII], with a correlation coefficient of R=0.80 and fitted by the following relation: sigma_star = 57.9pm23.5 + (0.42pm0.10)sigma_[FeII]. This correlation can be used to estimate $sigma_star$ in cases it cannot be directly measured and the [FeII] emission lines are present in the spectra, allowing to obtain the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) from the M-sigma_star relation. The scatter from a one-to-one relationship between sigma_star and its value derived from sigma_[FeII] using the equation above for our sample is 0.07dex, which is smaller than that obtained in previous studies which use sigma_[OIII] in the optical as a proxy for sigma_star. The use of sigma_[Fe,II] in the near-IR instead of sigma_[OIII] in the optical is a valuable option for cases in which optical spectra are not available or are obscured, as is the case of many AGN.
We present 80 stellar and ionised gas velocity maps from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey in order to characterize the kinematic orientation of non-interacting galaxies. The study of galaxies in isolation is a key step toward s understanding how fast-external processes, such as major mergers, affect kinematic properties in galaxies. We derived the global and individual (projected approaching and receding sides) kinematic position angles (PAs) for both the stellar and ionised gas line-of-sight velocity distributions. When compared to the photometric PA, we find that morpho-kinematic differences are smaller than 22 degrees in 90% of the sample for both components; internal kinematic misalignments are generally smaller than 16 degrees. We find a tight relation between the global stellar and ionised gas kinematic PA consistent with circular-flow pattern motions in both components. This relation also holds generally in barred galaxies across the bar and galaxy disk scales. Our findings suggest that even in the presence of strong bars, both the stellar and the gaseous components tend to follow the gravitational potential of the disk. As a result, kinematic orientation can be used to assess the degree of external distortions in interacting galaxies.
The possibility that ultra-diffuse galaxies lacking dark matter has recently stimulated interest to check the validity of Modified Newton Dynamics (MOND) predictions on the scale of such galaxies. It has been shown that the External Field Effect (EFE ) induced by the close-by galaxy can suppress the velocity dispersion of these systems, so that they appear almost dark matter free in the Newtonian context. Here, following up on this, we are making a priori predictions for the velocity dispersion of 22 ultra-diffuse galaxies in the nearby Universe. This sample can be used to test MOND and the EFE with future follow-up measurements. We construct a catalog of nearby ultra-diffuse galaxies in galaxy group environments, and set upper and lower limits for the possible velocity dispersion allowed in MOND, taking into account possible variations in the mass-to-light ratio of the dwarf and in the distance to the galaxy group. The prediction for the velocity dispersion is made as a function of the three dimensional separation of the dwarf to its host. In 17 out of 22 cases, the EFE plays a crucial role in the prediction.
