The shapes of the rotation curves of star-forming galaxies over the last ≈10 Gyr

We analyse maps of the spatially resolved nebular emission of ≈1500 star-forming galaxies at z ≈ 0.6–2.2 from deep K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph and MUSE observations to measure the average shape of their rotation curves. We use these to test claims for declining rotation curves at large radii in...
