Abstract Using spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory Data Release 15, we study the relationships between the ratio of total to visible mass and various parameters characterizing the evolution and environment of the galaxies in this survey. Measuring the rotation curve with the relative velocities of the H α emission line across a galaxy’s surface, we estimate each galaxy’s total mass. We develop a statistical model to describe the observed distribution in the ratio of total to visible mass, from which we extract the most probable value of this mass ratio for a given sample of galaxies. We present the relationships between the ratio of total to visible mass and several characteristics describing galactic evolution, such as luminosity, gas-phase metallicity, distance to the nearest neighbor, and position on the color–magnitude diagram. We find that faint galaxies with low metallicities, typically in the blue cloud, have the highest ratios of total to visible mass. This mass ratio is significantly reduced when we include the H i mass in the total visible mass, implying that feedback mechanisms are not as strong in low-mass galaxies as previously thought. Those galaxies that exhibit the second-highest ratios of total to visible mass are the brightest with high metallicities, typically members of the red sequence or green valley. Active galactic nucleus activity is likely both the quenching mechanism and the feedback that drives the mass ratio higher in these massive galaxies. Finally, we introduce a parameterization that predicts a galaxy’s ratio of total to visible mass based only on its photometry and luminosity.
