Stellar kinematics of galaxies at redshifts around cosmic noon. Top panels: stellar velocity field (V) and velocity dispersion distribution (σ) obtained from mock HARMONI observations of three hours of on-source exposure time of lenticular (i.e. NGC 809) host galaxies scaled to the V-band luminosities indicated in each panel at redshifts 0.76 (a and b), 1.50 (c), and 2.30 (d), as also indicated. Bottom panels: same 2D-distributions but from mock HARMONI observations of six (e), nine (f and h), and 12 (g) hours of total exposure time of a lenticular hosts of the luminosities in the V band, which is labelled (i.e. 1011L (e–g)) and 1010L (h). Contours (in black) from the stellar continuum are overlaid in steps of 0.25 mag. For all panels, the colour bars are in the [−150,150] km s−1 and [20,200] km s−1 ranges for velocities and velocity dispersions, respectively.
