The Direct-method Oxygen Abundance of Typical Dwarf Galaxies at Cosmic High Noon

We present a Keck/MOSFIRE rest-optical composite spectrum of 16 typical gravitationally lensed star-forming dwarf galaxies at 1.7 ≲ z ≲ 2.6 ( z _mean = 2.30), all chosen independent of emission-line strength. These galaxies have a median stellar mass of $\mathrm{log}{({M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot })}_{\mathr...
