THE NATURE OF EXTREME EMISSION LINE GALAXIES AT z = 1-2: KINEMATICS AND METALLICITIES FROM NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of a sample of 22 Extreme Emission Line Galaxies at redshifts 1.3 < z < 2.3, confirming that these are low-mass (M sub([sstarf]) = 10 super(8)-10 super(9) M sub([odot])) galaxies undergoing intense starburst episodes (M sub([sstarf])/SFR ~ 10-100 Myr). The...
