Keck-I MOSFIRE Spectroscopy of Compact Star-Forming Galaxies at \u3cem\u3ez\u3c/em\u3e ≳ 2: High Velocity Dispersions in Progenitors of Compact Quiescent Galaxies
We present Keck-I MOSFIRE near-infrared spectroscopy for a sample of 13 compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at redshift 2 ≤ z ≤ 2.5 with star formation rates of SFR ~ 100 M ☉ yr–1 and masses of log(M/M ☉) ~10.8. . . .
