Comparison of molecular gas masses of ALPINE nonmerger galaxies as derived from the [C II] luminosity (Eq. (1)) and the dynamical mass after subtracting Mstars (the relative contribution of dark-matter is assumed to be negligible). The dynamical masses, accessible only for the ALPINE galaxies with available [C II] size measurements (Fujimoto et al. 2020), are computed using the virial mass definition (Eq. (3); filled circles), except for 5 objects classified as rotation-dominated (Le Fèvre et al. 2020) for which we consider the disk-like gas potential distribution (Eq. (4); crosses). The dotted line is the one-to-one relation. There is good agreement between and molecular gas masses inferred from dynamical masses.
