Pith's one-line read A successful theory of galaxy formation must explain why a fraction of galaxies stop forming stars, and the census of these quiescent galaxies across mass, environment, and redshift is a test that no current model passes completely.

desk verdict A careful, honest review/reprint with no new results; the high-z quiescent-galaxy tension it highlights is real, and the Figure 13 selection mismatch actually makes the tension more robust, not less. read the letter →

The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This review chapter argues that matching the observed fraction of quenched galaxies as a joint function of stellar mass, cosmic time, and environment has been a persistent unsolved problem for galaxy formation models. The challenge is sharpened by JWST-discovered massive galaxies at redshift greater than 3 that formed and stopped forming stars within roughly one to two billion years, because most current models struggle to reproduce their number densities. The authors conclude that AGN feedback is the essential internal quenching mechanism for massive galaxies, while gradual gas stripping and cold-gas star formation laws matter for satellites and lower masses. They also emphasize that nearly all theoretical prescriptions are calibrated on low-redshift observations, so the high-redshift tension may partly reflect an untested extrapolation.

What carries the argument

The central diagnostic is the quiescent fraction, the fraction of galaxies at a given stellar mass, redshift, and environment that show negligible current star formation, as selected by color-color cuts, spectral breaks, or specific star formation rates. The mechanism that carries the argument is AGN feedback, energy and momentum injected by accreting supermassive black holes either as radiatively efficient winds that expel or heat cold gas or as jet-mode heating that prevents hot halo gas from cooling. The workhorse method is the controlled model-observation comparison: matching stellar mass functions, specific star formation rate distributions, and quiescent fractions in matched bins of stellar mass and halo mass, and then attributing the residuals to specific physical processes.

What would settle it

A decisive test would be a wide, spectroscopically complete census of massive galaxies at z about 3 to 5 that measures both quiescent fractions and the fraction hosting active galactic nuclei. If the confirmed space density of massive quiescent galaxies exceeds the upper envelope of current model predictions after accounting for cosmic variance, selection effects, and dust, the challenge to feedback models is genuine; if the excess disappears when evolving initial mass function assumptions and spectral energy distribution fitting choices are included, the tension is a calibration artifact.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The chapter's thesis is that the quiescent galaxy population is a single, multidimensional constraint for theory: the quiescent fraction rises with stellar mass and environmental density, declines with redshift, and the transition from star forming to passive is often rapid. It documents the historical fix of strong stellar feedback at low masses plus radio-mode AGN feedback at high masses to reproduce the galaxy luminosity function, and the still-unresolved problem of over-quenching satellite galaxies, where models make low-mass satellites too old and passive. The new JWST results on massive quiescent galaxies at z greater than 3, which appear to assemble quickly and then quench within a few tens of millions of years, sharpen the same test: most current simulations and semi-analytic models underpredict their space densities, although the predicted cosmic variance is large enough to accommodate at least some of the measurements.

Load-bearing premise

The load-bearing premise is that physical prescriptions calibrated on low-redshift observations, such as AGN feedback efficiency, star formation laws, and a constant stellar initial mass function, still describe galaxy behavior at z greater than 3, an extrapolation the chapter itself flags as untested.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If the chapter's reading is correct, no galaxy formation model that lacks an efficient AGN feedback channel can reproduce the bright end of the galaxy luminosity function or the high-redshift quiescent population.
  • The persistence of satellite over-quenching implies that models strip gas from infalling satellites too aggressively; gradual hot-gas stripping, ram-pressure stripping, and explicit cold-gas phase treatments are needed to match quiescent fractions in groups and clusters.
  • Massive quiescent galaxies at z above 3 with formation timescales of one to two billion years provide a direct observational testbed that can discriminate between kinetic jet-mode and radiative wind implementations of AGN feedback.
  • The large cosmic variance in current model predictions means that small-field JWST samples by themselves cannot falsify models; wide-area surveys are needed to measure the z greater than 3 quiescent fraction robustly.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • A testable extension the authors leave implicit: if satellite over-quenching is as widespread as the review indicates, future surveys should find a population of low-mass quiescent satellites at intermediate redshifts whose cold-gas content is systematically too low in simulations but observable with radio telescopes.
  • If an evolving, top-heavy stellar initial mass function at high redshift is real, it would raise inferred stellar masses and change star formation rate calibrations, potentially removing part of the claimed model tension without invoking new feedback physics.
  • The review's emphasis on the entanglement of mass and environment suggests that observational programs that bin by either variable alone will continue to yield contradictory conclusions; tracking the full environmental history of galaxies is the more promising interpretive route.

Referee Report

2 major / 7 minor

Summary. This manuscript is a review chapter that synthesizes the observational and theoretical status of galaxy quenching. It describes the methods used to identify quiescent galaxies, the observed evolution of quiescent fractions with stellar mass, redshift, and environment, the main physical processes proposed to cause quenching (stellar and AGN feedback, environmental processes), and comparisons of recent model predictions with observations. The chapter's central narrative is that reproducing the observed quiescent galaxy population across mass, epoch, and environment remains a challenge for galaxy formation models, and that JWST's discovery of massive quiescent galaxies at z>3 has sharpened this challenge, likely requiring AGN feedback as a key ingredient.

Significance. The review is comprehensive, current (November 2024), and unusually careful in stating caveats: it explicitly discusses degeneracies in quiescent-galaxy selection, the incompleteness of UVJ selection at z>3, SED-fitting uncertainties, the over-quenching problem in models, and the fact that most subgrid prescriptions are calibrated on local-Universe observations. These strengths make the chapter a potentially valuable reference for students and researchers. The main risk is that the quantitative case for the headline JWST tension relies on a model-observation comparison (Figure 13) that uses an inconsistent population selection, so the strength of the central claim currently exceeds what the presented evidence can strictly support. The authors' emphasis on AGN feedback as the dominant quenching mechanism at high mass reflects the current consensus and is balanced by a discussion of environmental processes.

major comments (2)
  1. [Section 5, Figure 13] The comparison between GAEA predictions and the observed cumulative number densities of massive quiescent galaxies at z>3 uses a stellar-mass cut for the model, not the observational quiescence selection (e.g., UVJ or NUVr colors/SED fits). Section 3 of this same chapter warns that UVJ selection is increasingly incomplete at z>3 and that SED-fitting assumptions strongly affect inferred masses and SFRs. Since the model is not forward-modeled through the same photometric/SED selection, the difference shown in the left panel may be partially a selection artifact rather than a purely physical tension; its sign and magnitude are unknown. The text's closing remark that characterizing the impact of different selections is 'the next obvious step' acknowledges this, but the claim that JWST-discovered galaxies 'sharpen the challenge' is presented before this caveat. The authors should either apply the observed selection to the model or explicitly qualify the figure and state the expected direction of the bias.
  2. [Section 5, Figure 13] The gray envelope from 125 subvolumes of ~140 Mpc on a side approximates the volume of Valentino et al. (2023) only. The figure compiles measurements from several surveys with different areas, depths, and selection functions (e.g., Carnall et al. 2024, Weaver et al. 2023, Nanayakkara et al. 2024), so a single cosmic-variance envelope is not the correct uncertainty for all points. This weakens the statement that cosmic variance 'can easily accommodate at least some of the recently published measurements'; the authors should match the uncertainty treatment to each survey or restrict the claim.
minor comments (7)
  1. [Nomenclature] The entry 'IMF Intial Mass Function' contains a typo; it should read 'Initial Mass Function'.
  2. [Section 5] The phrase 'cosmic epochs end environments' should read 'cosmic epochs and environments'.
  3. [Section 5] The sentence 'showing that the the problem of satellite over-quenching' contains a duplicated 'the'.
  4. [Section 6] The phrase 'ranging from the the construction' contains a duplicated 'the'.
  5. [Section 6] The phrase 'statistical studies of rare these rare systems' should read 'statistical studies of these rare systems'.
  6. [Section 4.1] The phrase 'hot and tenous X-ray emitting gas' should read 'hot and tenuous X-ray emitting gas'.
  7. [Section 6] The phrase 'delay between a starbust and the onset' should read 'delay between a starburst and the onset'.

Circularity Check

No circular derivation: the review tests GAEA predictions against external observations and independent simulations; self-citations are not load-bearing.

full rationale

This is a review chapter, not a derivation. The claimed challenge (models struggle to reproduce massive quiescent galaxies at z>3) is supported by comparing GAEA model predictions with SDSS, GOGREEN, and JWST observations and with independent simulation suites such as EAGLE, IllustrisTNG, Magneticum, and Hydrangea. The authors' own GAEA results (De Lucia et al. 2024; Xie et al. 2020; Fontanot et al. 2020) are presented as tested predictions, not as premises that define the target quantity. No equation in the chapter constructs the predicted quiescent fractions from the observed quiescent fractions. The general statement that subgrid prescriptions are "typically calibrated against a subset of observational results in the local Universe" describes model construction, but it does not make the high-redshift comparison circular, and the chapter explicitly notes in Section 6 that local calibrations may not describe early epochs. The acknowledged differences among quiescence-selection methods in Section 3 and the unquantified selection mismatch in Figure 13 (a model mass cut versus observationally selected quiescent samples) are methodological concerns about the strength of the claimed tension, but they are not a case of a prediction reducing to its inputs by construction. Self-citations are frequent but are not load-bearing in the sense of importing an unverified uniqueness theorem or ansatz, and the central comparison is anchored to external data and independent models. Therefore no significant circularity is present.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 4 assumptions · 0 invented entities

This is a review, so no new free parameters or invented entities are introduced. The only inputs the reader does not pay for upstream are the standard astrophysical framework: Lambda-CDM structure formation, the reliability of SFR tracers and quiescent selections, the applicability of locally calibrated subgrid prescriptions at high redshift, and the stellar population assumptions used to convert photometry into masses and SFRs. These are standard domain assumptions, not ad hoc constructs.

assumptions (4)
  • domain assumption The standard Lambda-CDM hierarchical structure formation paradigm is assumed as the cosmological background.
    Throughout Sections 2, 4, and 5, quenching is discussed in terms of dark matter halo assembly, accretion, and merging within Lambda-CDM; this is the framework in which all cited observations and simulations are interpreted.
  • domain assumption SFR indicators and color-color selections can classify galaxies as quiescent across cosmic epochs with acceptable fidelity.
    Section 3 describes UVJ and NUV-r selections and notes incompleteness and purity issues; the review's reported quiescent fractions rely on these classifications.
  • domain assumption Subgrid prescriptions calibrated against local observations remain applicable at high redshift.
    Section 5 compares model predictions from GAEA, TNG, EAGLE, and other simulations to high-redshift observations. Section 6 explicitly worries that this extrapolation may be invalid, making it a load-bearing assumption for the theoretical comparisons.
  • domain assumption Standard stellar population synthesis and IMF assumptions underpin stellar mass and star formation rate estimates.
    Section 3 notes that IMF, dust, and template assumptions affect SFRs and masses; the quoted galaxy abundances depend on these choices.

The quenching of star formation activity represents a critical phase for a non-negligible fraction of the observed galaxy population at all cosmic epochs, marking a transition from an epoch of intense mass growth to an extended period of passive evolution. Over the past years, we have collected a detailed characterization of how the fraction of quenched galaxies evolves as a function of cosmic time (it grows at later cosmic epochs), and correlates with the physical properties of galaxies (more massive galaxies, that also tend to be bulge-dominated, are more likely to be quenched) and with their environment (denser environments host larger fractions of quiescent galaxies). Different physical processes can lead to a suppression of star formation. These include internal processes (processes that do not depend on the environment in which galaxies live, e.g. stellar and AGN feedback mechanisms) and processes that instead depend on the environment (e.g. mergers, gas stripping processes). In this chapter, we summarize the observational and theoretical status of the field, highlighting the most recent results and the questions that are yet to be answered. We also summarize our view on the expected developments in the next few years.
