Kinemetry measurements for our high-redshift simulations as a function of "intrinsic" values measured at low redshift. Dashed lines show the same threshold of K asym = 0.5. Red points represent OSIRIS-AO simulations, while blue points represent the SINFONI non-AO simulations. The gray shaded area indicates the region of the plot where one finds LBAs having high-asymmetry values at low redshift but low values at z ~ 2.2 (lower right quadrant). In the classification scheme of Shapiro et al. (2008), these objects would likely be classified as rotationally supported "disks."’
