MaNGA galaxy properties -- II. A detailed comparison of observed and simulated spiral galaxy scaling relations
We present a catalogue of dynamical properties for 2368 late-type galaxies from the MaNGA survey. The latter complements the catalogue of photometric properties for the same sample based on deep optical DESI photometry processed with AutoProf. Rotation curves (RCs), extracted by model fitting H$α$ velocity maps from the MaNGA Data Analysis Pipeline, extend out to 1.4 (1.9) R$_{e}$ for the primary (secondary) MaNGA samples. The RCs and ancillary MaNGA Pipe3D data products were used to construct various fundamental galaxy scaling relations that are also compared uniformly with similar relations from NIHAO zoom-in simulations. Simulated NIHAO galaxies were found to broadly reproduce the observed MaNGA galaxy population for $\log (M_*/{\rm M_{\odot}) > 8.5}$. Some discrepancies remain, such as those pertaining to central stellar densities and the diversity of RCs due to strong feedback schemes. Also presented are spatially-resolved scatters for the velocity-size-stellar mass (VRM$_*$) structural relations using MaNGA and NIHAO samples. The scatter for these relations in the galaxian interiors is a consequence of the diversity of inner RC shapes, while scatter in the outskirts is dictated by the large range of stellar surface densities which itself is driven by sporadic star formation. The detailed spatially-resolved scatter analysis highlights the complex interplay between local and global astrophysical processes and provides a strong constraint to numerical simulations.
