Massive quiescent galaxies at z 3: A comparison of selection, stellar population, and structural properties with simulation predictions
We study stellar population and structural properties of massive log (M ⋆/M ⊙) > 11 galaxies at z ≈ 2.7 in the Magneticum and IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulations and GAEA semi-analytic model. We find stellar mass functions broadly consistent with observations, with no scarcity of massive, quiescent galaxies at z ≈ 2.7, but with a higher
