Widespread Rapid Quenching at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Deep Spectroscopy

Widespread Rapid Quenching at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Deep Spectroscopy

Massive quiescent galaxies in the young Universe are expected to be quenched rapidly, but it is unclear whether they all experience starbursts before quenching and what physical mechanism drives rapid quenching. We study 14 massive quiescent galaxies ( $\mathrm{log}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })\gt 10$...
