The Formation Histories of Massive and Quiescent Galaxies in the 3 < z < 4.5 Universe

We present the formation histories of 19 massive (≳3 × 10 ^10 M _⊙ ) quiescent (specific star formation rate, sSFR < 0.15 Gyr ^−1 ) galaxy candidates at z  ~ 3.0–4.5 observed using JWST/NIRSpec. This completes the spectroscopic confirmation of the 24 K -selected quiescent galaxy sample from the Z...
