A population of faint, old, and massive quiescent galaxies at $$3<z<4$$ 3 < z < 4 revealed by JWST NIRSpec Spectroscopy

Abstract Here we present a sample of 12 massive quiescent galaxy candidates at $$z\sim 3-4$$ z ∼ 3 - 4 observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec). These galaxies were pre-selected from the Hubble Space Telescope imaging and 10 of our sources were unable...
