Impact of supernova feedback on the Tully-Fisher relation

Context. Recent observational results have found a bend in the Tully-Fisher relation in such a way that low-mass systems lie below the linear relation described by more massive galaxies. Aims. We intend to investigate the origin of the observed features in the stellar and baryonic Tully-Fisher relat...
