We report the bivariate HI- and H$_2$-stellar mass distributions of local galaxies in addition of an inventory of galaxy mass functions, MFs, for HI, H$_2$, cold gas, and baryonic mass, separately into early- and late-type galaxies. The MFs are determined using the HI and H$_2$ conditional distributions and the galaxy stellar mass function, GSMF. For the conditional distributions we use the compilation presented in Calette et al. 2018. For determining the GSMF from $M_{ast}sim3times10^{7}$ to $3times10^{12}$ $M_{odot}$, we combine two spectroscopic samples from the SDSS at the redshift range $0.0033<z<0.2$. We find that the low-mass end slope of the GSMF, after correcting from surface brightness incompleteness, is $alphaapprox-1.4$, consistent with previous determinations. The obtained HI MFs agree with radio blind surveys. Similarly, the H$_2$ MFs are consistent with CO follow-up optically-selected samples. We estimate the impact of systematics due to mass-to-light ratios and find that our MFs are robust against systematic errors. We deconvolve our MFs from random errors to obtain the intrinsic MFs. Using the MFs, we calculate cosmic density parameters of all the baryonic components. Baryons locked inside galaxies represent 5.4% of the universal baryon content, while $sim96$% of the HI and H$_2$ mass inside galaxies reside in late-type morphologies. Our results imply cosmic depletion times of H$_2$ and total neutral H in late-type galaxies of $sim 1.3$ and 7.2 Gyr, respectively, which shows that late type galaxies are on average inefficient in converting H$_2$ into stars and in transforming HI gas into H$_2$. Our results provide a fully self-consistent empirical description of galaxy demographics in terms of the bivariate gas--stellar mass distribution and their projections, the MFs. This description is ideal to compare and/or to constrain galaxy formation models.

We characterize the conditional distributions of the HI gas-to-stellar mass ratio, $R_{HI}equiv M_{HI}/M_{ast}$, given the stellar mass, $M_{ast}$, of local galaxies from $M_{ast}sim 10^7$ to $10^{12}$ $M_{odot}$ separated into centrals and satellite s as well as into late- and early-type galaxies (LTGs and ETGs, respectively). To do so, we use (1) the homogeneous eXtended GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey, xGASS (Catinella et al. 2018), by re-estimating their upper limits and taking into account them in our statistical analysis; and (2) the results from a large compilation of HI data reported in Calette et al. (2018). We use the $R_{HI}$ conditional distributions combined with the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function to infer the bivariate $M_{HI}$ and $M_{ast}$ distribution of all galaxies as well of the late/early-type and central/satellite subsamples and their combinations. Satellites are on average less HI gas-rich than centrals at low and intermediate masses, with differences being larger for ETGs than LTGs; at $M_{ast}>3-5times 10^{10}$ $M_{odot}$ the differences are negligible. The differences in the HI gas content are much larger between LTGs and ETGs than between centrals and satellites. Our empirical HI Mass Function is strongly dominated by central galaxies at all masses. The empirically constrained bivariate $M_{HI}$ and $M_{ast}$ distributions presented here can be used to compare and constrain theoretical predictions as well as to generate galaxy mock catalogues.
We present the stellar mass profiles of 147 isolated quiescent galaxies in very low-density environments (i.e., void regions) in the local Universe ($0.01<z<0.06$) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These galaxies have stellar masses between $ 9.8les ssim log(M_{ast}/M_{odot})lesssim11.2$ and they represent $sim15%$ of the whole galaxy population in the void regions down to $M_{r} = -19$. We do not find any isolated quiescent galaxies with $log(M_{ast}/M_{odot})gtrsim11.2$. We compare the stellar mass profiles of these isolated quiescent galaxies with the profiles of stellar mass-matched samples of the quiescent galaxies in group and cluster environments. We find that, at fixed mass, quiescent galaxies in voids have similar central ($1$ kpc) mass densities ($Sigma_1$) and central velocity dispersions ($sigma_1$) compared to their counterparts in groups and clusters. We show that quiescent galaxies in voids have at most $10-25%$ smaller half-mass (and half-light) sizes compared to quiescent galaxies in groups and clusters. We conclude that for the intermediate stellar mass range of $10^{10}-10^{11}M_{odot}$ in the local Universe, environmental mechanisms have no significant additional effect on the mass profiles of the quiescent galaxies.

We investigate the origin of the relations between stellar mass and optical circular velocity for early-type (ETG) and late-type (LTG) galaxies --- the Faber-Jackson (FJ) and Tully-Fisher (TF) relations. We combine measurements of dark halo masses (f rom satellite kinematics and weak lensing), and the distribution of baryons in galaxies (from a new compilation of galaxy scaling relations), with constraints on dark halo structure from cosmological simulations. The principle unknowns are the halo response to galaxy formation and the stellar initial mass function (IMF). The slopes of the TF and FJ relations are naturally reproduced for a wide range of halo response and IMFs. However, models with a universal IMF and universal halo response cannot simultaneously reproduce the zero points of both the TF and FJ relations. For a model with a universal Chabrier IMF, LTGs require halo expansion, while ETGs require halo contraction. A Salpeter IMF is permitted for high mass (sigma > 180 km/s) ETGs, but is inconsistent for intermediate masses, unless V_circ(R_e)/sigma_e > 1.6. If the IMF is universal and close to Chabrier, we speculate that the presence of a major merger may be responsible for the contraction in ETGs while clumpy accreting streams and/or feedback leads to expansion in LTGs. Alternatively, a recently proposed variation in the IMF disfavors halo contraction in both types of galaxies. Finally we show that our models naturally reproduce flat and featureless circular velocity profiles within the optical regions of galaxies without fine-tuning.
We analyse structural decompositions of 500 late-type galaxies (Hubble $T$-type $ge 6$) from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S$^4$G), spanning a stellar mass range of about $10^7$ to a few times $10^{10}$ M$_odot$. Their decompos ition parameters are compared with those of the early-type dwarfs in the Virgo cluster from Janz et al. They have morphological similarities, including the fact that the fraction of simple one-component galaxies in both samples increases towards lower galaxy masses. We find that in the late-type two-component galaxies both the inner and outer structures are by a factor of two larger than those in the early-type dwarfs, for the same stellar mass of the component. While dividing the late-type galaxies to low and high density environmental bins, it is noticeable that both the inner and outer components of late types in the high local galaxy density bin are smaller, and lie closer in size to those of the early-type dwarfs. This suggests that, although structural differences between the late and early-type dwarfs are observed, environmental processes can plausibly transform their sizes sufficiently, thus linking them evolutionarily.
[Abridged] Tight correlations between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass ($M_{rm BH}$) and the properties of the host galaxy have useful implications for our understanding of the growth of SMBHs and evolution of galaxies. Here, we present newly obse rved correlations between $M_{rm BH}$ and the host galaxy total UV$-$ [3.6] color ($mathcal{C_{rm UV,tot}}$, Pearsons r = $0.6-0.7$) for a sample of 67 galaxies (20 early-type galaxies and 47 late-type galaxies) with directly measured $M_{rm BH}$ in the GALEX/S$^{4}$G survey. The colors are carefully measured in a homogeneous manner using the galaxies FUV, NUV and 3.6 $micron$ magnitudes and their multi-component structural decompositions in the literature. We find that more massive SMBHs are hosted by (early- and late-type) galaxies with redder colors, but the $M_{rm BH}- mathcal{C_{rm UV,tot}}$ relations for the two morphological types have slopes that differ at $sim 2 sigma$ level. Early-type galaxies define a red sequence in the $M_{rm BH}- mathcal{C_{rm UV,tot}}$ diagrams, while late-type galaxies trace a blue sequence. Within the assumption that the specific star formation rate of a galaxy (sSFR) is well traced by $L_{rm UV}/L_{rm 3.6}$, it follows that the SMBH masses for late-type galaxies exhibit a steeper dependence on sSFR than those for early-type galaxies. The $M_{rm BH}- mathcal{C_{rm UV,tot}}$ and $M_{rm BH}-L_{rm 3.6,tot}$ relations for the sample galaxies reveal a comparable level of vertical scatter in the log $M_{rm BH}$ direction, roughly $5%-27%$ more than the vertical scatter of the $M_{rm BH}-sigma$ relation. Our $M_{rm BH}- mathcal{C_{rm UV,tot}}$ relations suggest different channels of SMBH growth for early- and late-type galaxies, consistent with their distinct formation and evolution scenarios.
