The pith

Assumptions about star-formation histories cause the number of photometrically selected quiescent galaxies to vary from 171 to 224 out of 13000, rising by up to 45 percent when mid-infrared data are added.

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

The paper tests how different models for star-formation histories affect the identification of quiescent galaxy candidates in photometric data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Across three models, the number of selected candidates ranges from 171 to 224 among 13000 galaxies at redshifts under 6. Adding mid-infrared measurements increases the selected count by as much as 45 percent, because they tighten the estimates of dust obscuration and total stellar mass. About 13 percent of the candidates show notable dust attenuation in all models, and more massive galaxies appear more obscured than lower-mass ones.

Core claim

When three different star-formation history models are applied to spectral energy distribution fitting of galaxies observed with the James Webb Space Telescope, the count of quiescent galaxy candidates selected by color, specific star-formation rate, and offset from the main sequence ranges from 171 to 224. This count rises to between 222 and 327 when mid-infrared photometry is included. Roughly 13 percent of these candidates have dust attenuation greater than 0.5 magnitudes, and a clear trend links higher stellar mass to stronger attenuation.

What carries the argument

Comparison of three star-formation history prescriptions—flexible delayed, nonparametric, and extended regulator—applied with and without mid-infrared data to determine how they alter quiescence criteria based on rest-frame colors and star-formation rates.

If this is right

  • Different assumptions about star-formation histories lead to different sizes of the quiescent galaxy population at early cosmic times.
  • Mid-infrared observations help reduce uncertainties from dust, resulting in more robust selection of quiescent candidates.
  • A substantial fraction of photometrically selected quiescent galaxies are affected by dust obscuration.
  • Stellar mass correlates positively with the amount of dust attenuation in quiescent systems.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Surveys relying on a single star-formation history model may under- or over-estimate the true number of quiescent galaxies.
  • The presence of dust in some quiescent candidates implies that dust removal or heating processes operate even after star formation has largely ceased.
  • Extending the analysis to higher redshifts could reveal whether the mass-attenuation relation strengthens or weakens over time.

Load-bearing premise

The three star-formation history models together with the chosen dust emission prescriptions are enough to represent the actual variety of star-formation and dust properties present in galaxies at these redshifts.

What would settle it

Obtaining spectroscopic measurements of star-formation rates or independent estimates of dust content for the same galaxies to check whether the photometrically selected quiescent candidates are truly quiescent and how dusty they are.

While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) now allows identifying quiescent galaxies (QGs) out to early epochs, the photometric selection of quiescent galaxy candidates (QGCs) and the derivation of key physical quantities are highly sensitive to the assumed star-formation histories (SFHs). We aim to quantify how the inclusion of JWST/MIRI data and different SFH models impacts the selection and characterisation of QGCs. We test the robustness of the physical properties inferred from the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, such as M*, age, star formation rate (SFR), and AV, and study how they impact the quiescence criteria of the galaxies across cosmic time. We perform SED fitting for ~13000 galaxies at z<6 from the CEERS/MIRI fields with up to 20 optical-mid infrared (MIR) broadband coverage. We implement three SFH prescriptions: flexible delayed, NonParametric, and extended Regulator. For each model, we compare results obtained with and without MIRI photometry and dust emission models. We evaluate the impact of these configurations on the number of candidate QGCs, selected based on rest UVJ colours, sSFR and main-sequence offset, and on their key physical properties such as M*, AV, and stellar ages. The number of QGCs selected varies significantly with the choice of SFH from 171 to 224 out of 13000 galaxies, depending on the model. This number increases to 222-327 when MIRI data are used (up to ~45% more QGCs). This enhancement is driven by improved constraints on dust attenuation and M*. We find a strong correlation between AV and M*, with massive galaxies (M*~10^11 M\odot) being 1.5-4.2 times more attenuated in magnitude than low-mass systems (M*~10^9 M\odot), depending on SFH. Regardless of the SFH assumption, ~13% of QGCs exhibit significant attenuation (AV > 0.5) in support of recent JWST studies challenging the notion that quiescent galaxies are uniformly dust-free.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper performs SED fitting on ~13,000 galaxies at z<6 from CEERS/MIRI fields using up to 20-band photometry to quantify the effects of three SFH prescriptions (flexible delayed, NonParametric, extended Regulator) and the inclusion/exclusion of MIRI data plus dust emission models on the selection of quiescent galaxy candidates (QGCs) via UVJ colors, sSFR, and main-sequence offset. It reports that QGC counts range from 171–224 depending on SFH, rise to 222–327 (up to ~45% increase) with MIRI data, show a strong A_V–M* correlation, and that ~13% of QGCs have A_V > 0.5 irrespective of the SFH model adopted.

Significance. If the central numerical results hold, the work provides a useful systematic quantification of modeling sensitivity in JWST-based QG selection at z<6 and supplies concrete evidence that a non-negligible fraction of photometrically selected quiescent systems are dust-attenuated, consistent with other recent JWST studies. The explicit comparison of three SFH families with and without MIRI data is a clear methodological strength.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract and §4] Abstract and §4 (results on A_V statistics): the claim that '~13% of QGCs exhibit significant attenuation (A_V > 0.5) regardless of the SFH assumption' is load-bearing for the paper's interpretation yet rests only on the three tested prescriptions. If these models share limitations in reproducing highly stochastic or burst-dominated SFHs (increasingly indicated by JWST spectroscopy at z~2–6), the derived A_V distribution and the 13% fraction could shift systematically; an explicit test against at least one additional bursty or non-parametric SFH with higher time-resolution would directly address this.
  2. [§3] §3 (methods, data selection): the robustness of the reported 45% increase in QGC counts when MIRI is added depends on the precise definition of the quiescence criteria (UVJ, sSFR, MS offset) and on how photometric uncertainties and upper limits are propagated; without tabulated error budgets or jackknife tests on the selection thresholds it is difficult to judge whether the count variation is dominated by improved dust constraints or by changes in the underlying galaxy sample.
minor comments (2)
  1. A summary table listing the exact number of QGCs, median A_V, and median stellar age for each of the six configurations (3 SFH × with/without MIRI) would improve readability and allow direct comparison of the reported ranges.
  2. The paper should clarify whether the dust emission models are held fixed across all SFH runs or allowed to vary, as this choice directly affects the A_V–M* correlation strength quoted in the abstract.

  1. Referee: [Abstract and §4] Abstract and §4 (results on A_V statistics): the claim that '~13% of QGCs exhibit significant attenuation (A_V > 0.5) regardless of the SFH assumption' is load-bearing for the paper's interpretation yet rests only on the three tested prescriptions.

    Authors: We selected the three SFH prescriptions to span a range of modeling approaches, with the NonParametric model already permitting multiple discrete star-formation episodes and the extended Regulator model incorporating stochastic variations in the star-formation rate. The fact that the ~13% fraction with A_V > 0.5 remains consistent across these models is the central result we report. We nevertheless agree that more bursty histories with finer time resolution could in principle alter the A_V distribution. In the revised manuscript we will expand the discussion in §4 (and the corresponding abstract sentence) to explicitly acknowledge this potential systematic uncertainty, reference recent JWST spectroscopic indications of burstiness at z~2–6, and note that the present photometric analysis cannot fully exclude such effects. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [§3] §3 (methods, data selection): the robustness of the reported 45% increase in QGC counts when MIRI is added depends on the precise definition of the quiescence criteria (UVJ, sSFR, MS offset) and on how photometric uncertainties and upper limits are propagated; without tabulated error budgets or jackknife tests on the selection thresholds it is difficult to judge whether the count variation is dominated by improved dust constraints or by changes in the underlying galaxy sample.

    Authors: We agree that additional documentation of uncertainty propagation and threshold sensitivity would strengthen the methods section. In the revised version we will add a table in §3 that tabulates the adopted photometric uncertainties, describes the treatment of upper limits in the SED fits, and reports the resulting error budgets on sSFR and UVJ colors. We will also include a brief jackknife test that varies the quiescence thresholds within their uncertainties and shows that the ~45% increase in QGC counts persists and is driven primarily by the tighter constraints on dust attenuation and stellar mass provided by the MIRI bands. revision: yes

standing simulated objections not resolved
  • Performing a complete re-analysis of the full ~13,000-galaxy sample with an additional high-time-resolution bursty SFH model, which would require substantial new computational resources.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; results are direct outputs from SED fits to independent photometry

full rationale

The paper performs SED fitting on ~13000 galaxies using three SFH prescriptions (flexible delayed, NonParametric, extended Regulator) and reports empirical counts of QGCs (171-224 without MIRI, 222-327 with MIRI) plus the ~13% fraction with AV>0.5. These quantities are computed directly from the posterior distributions of the fits to external JWST photometry; no equation reduces the reported numbers or AV values to a quantity defined by the selection criteria themselves, and no load-bearing self-citation or uniqueness theorem is invoked to force the outcomes. The analysis is therefore self-contained against the photometric data.
