Issue Date: | 2021 | Journal: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Number: | 917 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | L17 | Abstract: | Deep Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and Hubble Space Telescope observations reveal the presence of a quenched massive galaxy within the z = 2.91 galaxy group RO-1001. With a mass-weighted stellar age of 1.6 ± 0.4 Gyr this galaxy is one of the oldest known at z ~ 3, implying that most of its 10<SUP>11</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> of stars were rapidly formed at z > 6-8. This is a unique example of the predominantly passive evolution of a galaxy over at least 3 < z < 6 following its high-redshift quenching and a smoking-gun event pointing to the early imprint of an age-environment relation. At the same time, being in a dense group environment with extensive cold gas reservoirs as betrayed by a giant Lyα halo, the existence of this galaxy demonstrates that gas accretion shutdown is not necessary for quenching and its maintenance.... | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/31782 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ac16dc | ISSN: | 2041-8205 | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8213/ac16dc | Fulltext: | open |
