(a) Velocity and velocity dispersion of the SDSS J0912+1523 Voronoi bins as a function of distance from the center. (b) Rotational support at 5 kpc vs. stellar mass of SDSS J0912+1523, compared to similar-redshift quiescent galaxies from the LEGA-C survey and local galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey (CALIFA; Bezanson et al. 2018). The median observed rotational support of the LEGA-C and CALIFA galaxies per mass bin are plotted in red and blue, respectively, with dashed lines reflecting intrinsic values. The intrinsic rotational support of the LEGA-C sample and SDSS J0912+1523 (indicated by the green arrow) are simulated with using the CALIFA sample. SDSS J0912+1523 is roughly consistent with the typical, similar-mass LEGA-C galaxy and is more rotationally supported than local CALIFA galaxies.
