Abstract:
The 'Spectroscopy and H-band Imaging of Virgo cluster galaxies'
(SHIVir) survey is an optical and near-infrared survey which combines
SDSS photometry, deep H-band photometry, and long-slit optical
spectroscopy for 190 Virgo cluster galaxies covering all morphological
types over the stellar mass range log (M*/M☉) = 7.8-11.5. We
present the spectroscopic sample selection, data reduction, and
analysis for this SHIVir sample. We have used and optimized the pPXF
routine to extract stellar kinematics from our data. Ultimately,
resolved kinematic profiles (rotation curves and velocity dispersion
profiles) are available for 133 SHIVir galaxies. A comprehensive data
base of photometric and kinematic parameters for the SHIVir sample is
presented with grizH magnitudes, effective surface brightnesses,
effective and isophotal radii, rotational velocities, velocity
dispersions, and stellar and dynamical masses. Parameter distributions
highlight some bimodal distributions and possible sample biases. A
qualitative study of resolved extended velocity dispersion profiles
suggests a link between the so-called 'sigma-drop' kinematic profile
and the presence of rings in lenticular S0 galaxies. Rising dispersion
profiles are linked to early- type spirals or dwarf ellipticals for
which a rotational component is significant, whereas peaked profiles
are tied to featureless giant ellipticals.
Description:
A global understanding of galaxy formation and evolution requires that
the broadest range of structural and environmental galaxy parameters
including shapes, sizes, mass fractions, activity levels, and
environmental densities be reproduced by models. Deep and extensive
surveys providing high-quality spatially resolved digital
spectrophotometric data for thousands of galaxies are needed to
understand the physical drivers of galaxy formation and evolution in a
statistical manner. A dynamically active, structurally complex, and
nearby rich galaxy cluster, the Virgo cluster is an invaluable yet
challenging study subject. Its proximity and richness make it a superb
laboratory for measuring galaxy structural properties and
characterizing IMF variations and star formation rates within and
among galaxies. The main goal of this paper is to present and make
available the SHIVir spectroscopic sample of 190 selected galaxies
previously presented in Ouellette et al. (2017ApJ...843...74O 2017ApJ...843...74O).
Firstly, we concatenate photometric, derived parameters and observing
conditions of this sample in order to present it in the target.dat
refering to the work available in the sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.
Secondly, as explicited in the section 3, we focus on the 138 SHIVir
spectroscopic data plus additional data resumed in the section 3.3
(i.e see also section 4 for spectroscopic data reduction). We produce
the kinematic analysis as shown in section 5 (based on
triplet [N II]-Hα-[N II] emission complex spectral row), it allows
us to spectroscopicaly extract rotational and dispersion velocities of
these 138 galaxies (i.e see also section 7.1 and 7.2 for rotation
curves and VD profiles methods). These results are then compiled in
kinemat.dat. Finally, we regroup our photo/spectro data and the
additional data, to get masses perspectives of the 190 galaxies. As
explained in section 2.4 Stellar masses and section 5.3 Circular
velocities and dynamical masses, we obtain logM*, logMHI, logMDyn and
logMDM as shown in masses.dat.
