Description
We derive rotation curves, surface brightness profiles, and oxygen abundance distributions for 147 late-type galaxies using the publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. Changes of the central oxygen abundance (O/H)_0_, the abundance at the optical radius (O/H)_R25_, and the abundance gradient with rotation velocity V_rot_ were examined for galaxies with rotation velocities from 90km/s to 350km/s. We find that each relation shows a break at V_rot_^*^~200km/s. The central (O/H)_0_ abundance increases with rising V_rot_ and the slope of the (O/H)_0_-V_rot_ relation is steeper for galaxies with V_rot_<=V_rot_^*^. The mean scatter of the central abundances around this relation is 0.053 dex. The relation between the abundance at the optical radius of a galaxy and its rotation velocity is similar; the mean scatter in abundances around this relation is 0.081 dex. The radial abundance gradient expressed in dex/kpc flattens with the increase of the rotation velocity. The slope of the relation is very low for galaxies with V_rot_>=V_rot_^*^. The abundance gradient expressed in dex/R_25_ is roughly constant for galaxies with V_rot_<=V_rot_^*^, flattens towards V_rot_^*^, and then again is roughly constant for galaxies with V_rot_>=V_rot_^*^. The change of the gradient expressed in terms of dex/h_d_ (where h_d_ is the disc scale length), in terms of dex/R_e,d_ (where R_e,d_ is the disc effective radius), and in terms of dex/R_e,g_ (where R_e,g_ is the galaxy effective radius) with rotation velocity is similar to that for gradient in dex/R_25_. The relations between abundance characteristics and other basic parameters (stellar mass, luminosity, and radius) are also considered.
