Abstract

We present a comparison of stellar and dynamical masses for 63 UV-selected galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts at z ∼ 2. Stellar masses are determined by fitting SEDs to UGRJK photometry, with the addition of mid-IR data from the Spitzer Space Telescope in some cases. Dynamical masses are determined using the velocity dispersions from Hα spectra. We find a mean stellar mass of 7 × 10^(10) M_☉ and a mean dynamical mass of 6 × 10^(10) M_☉; we discuss the limitations of both mass estimators.
