New low-mass quiescent galaxy discovered arxiv
We report the discovery of a quiescent galaxy at $z=2.34$ with a stellar mass of only $M_\star=9.5^{+1.8}_{-1.2} \times 10^{8} \mathrm{M}_\odot$, based on deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy. This is the least massive quiescent galaxy found so far at high redshift. We use a Bayesian approach to model the spectrum and photometry, and find the target to have been quiescent for 0.6 Gyr with a mass-weighted average stellar age of 0.8-1.7 Gyr .
We stress that had we been specifically targetting galaxies within overdensities, the main target would not have been selected on photometry alone; therefore, environment studies based on photometric redshifts are biased against low-mass quiescent galaxies. The overdensity contains three spectroscopically confirmed, massive, old galaxies . The presence of these evolved systems points to accelerated galaxy evolution in overdensities at redshifts z > 2, in agreement with previous works.
