The Outflowing [O ii] Nebulae of Compact Starburst Galaxies at z ∼ 0.5

High-velocity outflows are ubiquitous in compact, massive ( M _* ∼ 10 ^11 M _⊙ ), z ∼ 0.5 galaxies with extreme star formation surface densities (Σ _SFR ∼ 2000 M _⊙ yr ^−1 kpc ^−2 ). We have previously detected and characterized these outflows using Mg ii absorption lines. To probe their full extent...
