被动星系是如何形成的,以及在长时间尺度上阻止星星形成的物理机制,是理解星系演化过程中最突出的问题之一。静止星系在宇宙时间内的性质为确定猝灭机制提供了关键信息。被动星系已经被证实和研究到z 10.4,但所有这些研究都局限于大质量系统(大多数log(Mstar/M 10.8))。使用来自GLASS-JWST早期发布科学计划的JWST-NIRISS棱镜无狭缝光谱数据,我们提出了两个静止星系的光谱确认,zspec=2.650−0.006+0.004和zspec=2.433−0.016+0.032(3σ误差),恒星质量log(Mstar/M)=10.59−0.05+0.11和log(Mstar/M)=10.07−0.03+0.06(分别校正放大系数μ = 2.0和μ = 2.1)。后者代表了第一次光谱确认宇宙中午存在低质量静止星系,展示了JWST识别和表征这一神秘群体的能力。
How passive galaxies form, and the physical mechanisms which prevent star formation over long timescales, are some of the most outstanding questions in understanding galaxy evolution. The properties of quiescent galaxies over cosmic time provide crucial information to identify the quenching mechanisms. Passive galaxies have been confirmed and studied out to z ∼ 4, but all of these studies have been limited to massive systems (mostly with log(Mstar/M⊙)>10.8 ). Using JWST-NIRISS grism slitless spectroscopic data from the GLASS-JWST Early Release Science program, we present spectroscopic confirmation of two quiescent galaxies at zspec=2.650−0.006+0.004 and zspec=2.433−0.016+0.032 (3σ errors) with stellar masses of log(Mstar/M⊙)=10.59−0.05+0.11 and log(Mstar/M⊙)=10.07−0.03+0.06 (corrected for magnification factors of μ = 2.0 and μ = 2.1, respectively). The latter represents the first spectroscopic confirmation of the existence of low-mass quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon, showcasing the power of JWST to identify and characterize this enigmatic population.
