Abstract The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR), a relationship between the rotational velocity and baryonic mass in spiral galaxies, probes the relative content of baryonic and total mass in galaxies and thus provides a good test of dark matter content in galaxies. Using H α kinematics, we model the rotation curves of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey MaNGA DR17 spiral galaxies. To extend the BTFR to higher masses with elliptical galaxies, we estimate their total masses from their stellar velocity dispersions using the virial theorem and define the effective rotational velocity as the velocity a rotation-supported galaxy would exhibit given this mass. The baryonic mass of spiral galaxies is composed of stellar, H i , H 2 , and He mass, while only the stellar mass is used for the baryonic content of ellipticals. We construct joint BTFRs for 5743 MaNGA spiral and elliptical galaxies, TNG100 simulated galaxies with baryonic masses greater than 10 9 M ⊙ , and a cross-matched subsample between these two datasets (3149 spiral and 1423 elliptical galaxies). For the cross-matched subsample, we find agreement in the slopes between observed and simulated galaxies. We find a slope of 3.8 6 − 0.62 + 0.92 for the full MaNGA sample, which agrees well with the slope of 4.0 predicted by MOND and the fitted slope of 3.5 8 − 0.38 + 0.48 for the TNG100 galaxies. We find that a sample of lower-mass galaxies is necessary to differentiate between the two models.
