The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation for different velocity definitions and implications for galaxy angular momentum

We study the baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR) at z ≃ 0 using 153 galaxies from the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curve sample. We consider different definitions of the characteristic velocity from H I and H α rotation curves, as well as H I line-widths from single-dish observations....
