Rest-frame UV spectra, taken with FORS2 and VIMOS on the VLT, of blue star-forming galaxies with redshifts within the peak of the distribution, centred at z = 2.07. The spectra shown here were rebinned with a bin size of two pixels. Prominent emission and absorption features are shown with dotted green lines. The dashed red line indicates the level of zero flux. For each object, the (uncalibrated) image from which the spectrum was extracted is shown at the top of the sub-plot.
