Abstract: We present a new compactification M(d,n) of the moduli space of self-maps of mathbbCP1 of degree d with n markings. It is constructed via GIT from the stable maps moduli space arM0,n(mathbbCP1imesmathbbCP1,(1,d)). We show that it is the coarse moduli space of a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack and we compute its rational Picard group. Using the recursive boundary structure inherited from the stable maps space, we give an explicit algorithm for computing top-intersection numbers of divisors on M(d,n). We also study the m-fold iteration map M(d,n)dashrightarrowM(dm,n) and we give a geometric way to extend this rational map to parts of the boundary of M(d,n).
