Abstract

     In this study, the stellar mass M*(LB) and the atomic gas mass MHI (LB) were utilized to evaluate the baryonic mass Tully–Fisher (Mb) of disc system spiral galaxies (for normal spiral and barred spirals) and to obtain an empirical relation between masses Mb, MHI, M* and optical luminosity at blue range LB. The data for the studied sample was collected from literature papers for unbarred (normal) and barred-type morphological spiral galaxies. Therefore, in this work, the sample of data was chosen to analyze the baryonic mass Tully–Fisher relationship for normal and barred spiral galaxies. Statistical analysis of the connections was used between the stellar mass M*, the baryonic mass of disk spiral systems (Mb), and the MHI for cold gas content. This study shows that there are certain relations and strong interconnections between the maximum and minimum baryonic mass ranges between Mbmax (LB) ≈ 1.4x1012 Mʘ and Mbmin (LB) ≈ 2x109 Mʘ for barred, while Mbmax (LB) ≈ 6x1011 Mʘ and Mbmin (LB) ≈ 5x109 Mʘ for unbarred spirals. Also, there are strong significant correlations between (Log M* - Log LB and Log Mb - Log LB). Finally, the analysis of the result demonstrates a strong partial coefficient correlation (R ~ 0.9) between the logarithmic scales relationships of baryonic mass (Mb) and the neutral cold gas mass )MHI (for barred and unbarred spirals with a slope equal to 1.
