Introduction A possible relation between bulge c and disk V c was found by Whitmore et al. (1979) studying a sample of spiral galaxies. They inferred from V c / c 1.7 that halo and bulge are dynamically separate components.

Introduction A possible relation between bulge c and disk V c was found by Whitmore et al. (1979) studying a sample of spiral galaxies. They inferred from V c / c 1.7 that halo and bulge are dynamically separate components. Gerhard et al. (2001) derived the V c - c relation for a sample of giant, nearly round and almost non-rotating ellipticals. It was explained as an indication of near dynamical homology of these galaxies,

Introduction A possible relation between bulge c and disk V c was found by Whitmore et al. (1979) studying a sample of spiral galaxies. They inferred from V c / c 1.7 that halo and bulge are dynamically separate components. Gerhard et al. (2001) derived the V c - c relation for a sample of giant, nearly round and almost non-rotating ellipticals. It was explained as an indication of near dynamical homology of these galaxies. Ferrarese (2002) and Baes et al. (2003) found that ellipticals and spirals define a common V c - c relation. It was interpreted as a relation between the mass of the DM halo and SMBH.

Sample selection We enlarged the sample so far studied, namely 38 Sa-Scd = Ferrarese 2002; optical/HI RC’s from literature 12 Sb-Sc = Baes et al. 2003; optical RC’s 20 E0-E2 = Kronawitter et al. 2000; stellar dynamics by including 17 S0/a-Sab = Corsini et al. 1999, 2003; optical RC’s 33 Sb-Sbc = Vega et al. 2001; Pizzella et al. 2004; optical RC’s 11 LSB Sa-Sc = Pizzella et al. 2005; optical RC’s 5 E’s = Bertola et al. 1993; HI RC’s from literature

Measuring V c E’s: from either the flat part of HI RC or dynamical modeling to test against model-depend biases HSB/LSB’s: from the flat part of gas RC V(R) = A R + B with |A| 2 km s -1 kpc -1 for R 0.35 R 25 instead of V c = V(R last ) with R last R 25

Measuring c E’s: from aperture measurements of the stellar velocity dispersion corrected to r e /8 HSB/LSB’s: from stellar velocity dispersion profile with no aperture correction

The V c - c relation for HSB’s and E’s The sample consists of 40 HSB spirals (R last 0.8 R 25 ) 24 ellipticals 19 = V c from stellar dynamics (R last 0.5 R 25 ) 5 = V c from HI kinematics (R last 3 R 25 ) We fitted a straight line to the data of HSB’s and E’s taking into account the errors on V c and c

18
The M BH - M DM relation c is related to M BH according to the M BH - c relation (Ferrarese & Ford 2004) V c is related to M DM since V c correlates with V vir (e.g., V c / V vir = 1.8, Seljak 2002) and V vir determines M DM (e.g., Bullock et al. 2001)
19
the V c - c relation translates into a M BH - M DM relation with some caveats M BH - c for spirals M BH - c extrapolation to c 50 km/s uncertainties in the M DM - V c conversion
20
The V c - c relation for LSB’s The sample consists of 8 LSB spirals (R last 1.2 R 25 ) According to KS test the distribution of normalized scatter of LSB’s is different from that of HSB’s and E’s. We fitted a straight line to the data of LSB’s taking into account the errors on V c and c

Conclusions V c - c relation for 40 HSB’s, 24 E’s, and 8 LSB’s with flat RC’s. V c - c relation for HSB’s is linear out to c 50 km/s. E’s with V c based on dynamical models or directly derived from from HI RC’s follow the same relation as HSB’s. LSB’s follow a different V c - c relation. This suggests that DM halos of LSB’s host smaller SMBH’s and were less affected by baryon collapse with respect to their HSB counterparts.
