Several dedicated surveys focusing on early-type galaxies (ETGs) reveal that significant fractions of them are detectable in all interstellar medium phases studied to date. We select ETGs from the Herschel Reference Survey that have both far-infrared Herschel and either HI or CO detection (or both). We derive their star formation rates (SFR), stellar masses and dust masses via modelling their spectral energy distributions. We combine these with literature information on their atomic and molecular gas properties, in order to relate their star formation, total gas mass and dust mass on global scales. The ETGs deviate from the dust mass-SFR relation and the Schmidt-Kennicutt relation that SDSS star forming galaxies define: compared to SDSS galaxies, ETGs have more dust at the same SFR, or less SFR at the same dust mass. When placing them in the M*-SFR plane, ETGs show a much lower specific SFR as compared to normal star-forming galaxies. ETGs show a large scatter compared to the Schmidt-Kennicutt relation found locally within our Galaxy, extending to lower SFRs and gas mass surface densities. Using an ETGs SFR and the Schmidt-Kennicutt law to predict its gas mass leads to an underestimate. ETGs have similar observed-gas-to-modelled-dust mass ratios to star forming-galaxies of the same stellar mass, as well as they exhibit a similar scatter.

X-ray luminosity, temperature, gas mass, total mass, and their scaling relations are derived for 94 early-type galaxies using archival $Chandra$ X-ray Observatory observations. Consistent with earlier studies, the scaling relations, $L_X propto T^{4.
5pm0.2}$, $M propto T^{2.4pm0.2}$, and $L_X propto M^{2.8pm0.3}$, are significantly steeper than expected from self similarity. This steepening indicates that their atmospheres are heated above the level expected from gravitational infall alone. Energetic feedback from nuclear black holes and supernova explosions are likely heating agents. The tight $L_X - T$ correlation for low-luminosities systems (i.e., below 10$^{40}$ erg/s) are at variance with hydrodynamical simulations which generally predict higher temperatures for low luminosity galaxies. We also investigate the relationship between total mass and pressure, $Y_X = M_g times T$, finding $M propto Y_{X}^{0.45pm0.04}$. We explore the gas mass to total mass fraction in early-type galaxies and find a range of $0.1-1.0%$. We find no correlation between the gas-to-total mass fraction with temperature or total mass. Higher stellar velocity dispersions and higher metallicities are found in hotter, brighter, and more massive atmospheres. X-ray core radii derived from $beta$-model fitting are used to characterize the degree of core and cuspiness of hot atmospheres.
I review our understanding of classic dynamical scaling relations, relating luminosity, size and kinematics of early-type galaxies. Using unbiased determinations of galaxy mass profiles from stellar dynamical models, a simple picture has emerged in w
hich scaling relations are driven by virial equilibrium, accompanied by a trend in the stellar mass-to-light ratio (M/L). This picture confirms the earliest insights. The trend is mainly due to the combined variation of age, metallicity and the stellar initial mass function (IMF). The systematic variations best correlate with the galaxy velocity dispersion, which traces the bulge mass fraction. This indicates a link between bulge growth and quenching of star formation. Dark matter is unimportant within the half-light radius, where the total mass profile is close to isothermal ($rhopropto r^{-2}$).
We select a sample of about 50,000 early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), calibrate fitting formulae which correct for known problems with photometric reductions of extended objects, apply these corrections, and then measure a
number of pairwise scaling relations in the corrected sample. We show that, because they are not seeing corrected, the use of Petrosian-based quantities in magnitude limited surveys leads to biases, and suggest that this is one reason why Petrosian-based analyses of BCGs have failed to find significant differences from the bulk of the early-type population. These biases are not present when seeing-corrected parameters derived from deVaucouleur fits are used. Most of the scaling relations we study show evidence for curvature: the most luminous galaxies have smaller velocity dispersions, larger sizes, and fainter surface brightnesses than expected if there were no curva-ture. These statements remain true if we replace luminosities with stellar masses; they suggest that dissipation is less important at the massive end. There is curvature in the dynamical to stellar mass relation as well: the ratio of dynamical to stellar mass increases as stellar mass increases, but it curves upwards from this scaling both at small and large stellar masses. In all cases, the curvature at low masses becomes apparent when the sample becomes dominated by objects with stellar masses smaller than 3 x 10^10 M_Sun. We quantify all these trends using second order polynomials; these generally provide significantly better description of the data than linear fits, except at the least luminous end.
We present the results of a Keck-ESI study of dwarf galaxies across a range of environment: the Perseus Cluster, the Virgo Cluster, the NGC 1407 group, and the NGC 1023 group. Eighteen dEs are targeted for spectroscopy, three for the first time. We c
onfirm cluster membership for one Virgo dE, and group membership for one dE in the NGC 1023 group, and one dE in the NGC 1407 group for the first time. Regardless of environment, the dEs follow the same size-magnitude and $sigma$-luminosity relation. Two of the Virgo dwarfs, VCC 1199 and VCC 1627, have among the highest central velocity dispersions ($sigma_{0}$ = 58.4 km s$^{-1}$ and 49.2 km s$^{-1}$) measured for dwarfs of their luminosity ($M_{R}approx -17$). Given their small sizes ($R_{e} < 300$ pc) and large central velocity dispersions, we classify these two dwarfs as compact ellipticals rather than dEs. Group dEs typically have higher mean dynamical-to-stellar mass ratios than the cluster dEs, with $M_{dyn}/M_{star} = 5.1pm0.6$ for the group dwarfs, vs. $M_{dyn}/M_{star} = 2.2pm0.5$ for the cluster sample, which includes two cEs. We also search for trends in $M_{dyn}/M_{star}$ vs. distance from M87 for the Virgo Cluster population, and find no preference for dwarfs with high values of $M_{dyn}/M_{star}$ to reside in the cluster outskirts vs. centre.
The purpose of this work is the characterization of the main scaling relations between all the ISM components (dust, atomic/molecular/total gas), gas-phase metallicity, and other galaxy properties, such as Mstar and galaxy morphology, for late-type g
alaxies in the Local Universe. This study is performed by extracting late-type galaxies from the entire DustPedia sample and by exploiting the large and homogeneous dataset available thanks to the DustPedia project. The sample consists of 436 galaxies with morphological stage from T = 1 to 10, Mstar from 6 x 10^7 to 3 x 10^11 Msun, SFR from 6 x 10^(-4) to 60 Msun/yr, and 12 + log(O/H) from 8 to 9.5. The scaling relations involving the molecular gas are studied by assuming both a constant and a metallicity-dependent XCO. The analysis has been performed by means of the survival analysis technique. We confirm that the dust mass correlates very well with the total gas mass, and find -- for the first time -- that the dust mass correlates better with the atomic gas mass than the molecular one. We characterize important mass ratios such as gas fraction, molecular-to-atomic gas mass ratio, dust-to-total gas mass ratio (DGR), and dust-to-stellar mass ratio. Only the assumption of a metallicity-dependent XCO reproduces the expected decrease of the DGR with increasing morphological stage and decreasing gas-phase metallicity, with a slope of about 1. DGR, gas-phase metallicity, and the dust-to-stellar mass ratio are, for our galaxy sample, directly linked to the galaxy morphology. The molecular-to-atomic gas mass ratio and the DGR show a positive correlation for low molecular gas fractions, but for molecular gas rich galaxies this trend breaks down. This trend has never been found previously, to our knowledge. It provides new constraints for theoretical models of galaxy evolution and a reference for high-redshift studies.
