cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomyredshiftedUsing the CANDELS photometric catalogs for the Hubble Space Telescope ACS and WFC3, we identified massive evolved galaxies at 3<z<4.5 employing three different selection methods. We find the comoving number density of these objects to be ~2x10^-5^ and 8x10^-6^/Mpc^3^ after correction for completeness for two redshift bins centered at z=3.4, 4.7. We quantify a measure of how much confidence we should have for each candidate galaxy from different selections and what the conservative error estimates propagated into our selection are. Then we compare the evolution of the corresponding number densities and their stellar mass density with numerical simulations, semianalytical models, and previous observational estimates, which shows slight tension at higher redshifts as the models tend to underestimate the number and mass densities. By estimating the average halo masses of the candidates (M_h_~4.2, 1.9, and 1.3x1012M{sun} for redshift bins centered at z=3.4, 4.1, and 4.7), we find them to be consistent with halos that were efficient in turning baryons to stars, relatively immune to the feedback effects, and on the verge of transition into hot-mode accretion. This can suggest the relative cosmological starvation of the cold gas followed by an overconsumption phase in which the galaxy rapidly consumes the available cold gas as one of the possible drivers for the quenching of the massive evolved population at high redshift.2020ApJ...897...44Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/897/44CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toIX/45 : The Chandra Source Catalog, Release 1.1 (Evans+ 2012)IX/57 : The Chandra Source Catalog (CSC), Release 2.0 (Evans+, 2019)J/ApJ/592/728 : Lyman break galaxies at redshift z~3 (Steidel+, 2003)J/MNRAS/382/109 : Massive galaxies in Extended Groth Strip (Trujillo+, 2007)J/ApJ/655/51 : HDFS IRAC observations of 2<z<3.5 galaxies (Wuyts+, 2007)J/ApJS/180/102 : AEGIS-X: Chandra deep survey (Laird+, 2009)J/ApJ/739/L44 : Structural data for galaxies 0.2<z<2.7 (Damjanov+, 2011)J/ApJS/206/10 : CANDELS multiwavelength catalog (Galametz+, 2013)J/ApJS/207/24 : GOODS-S CANDELS multiwavelength catalog (Guo+, 2013)J/ApJ/777/18 : Stellar mass functions of galaxies to z=4 (Muzzin+, 2013)J/ApJS/220/10 : AEGIS-X Deep survey of EGS (AEGIS-XD) (Nandra+, 2015)J/ApJ/801/97 : GOODS-S & UDS M* catalogs from CANDELS (Santini+, 2015)J/ApJ/823/95 : CANDELS GOODS-S Chandra counterparts (Cappelluti+, 2016)J/ApJ/819/62 : The COSMOS-Legacy Survey (CLS) catalog (Civano+, 2016)J/ApJS/224/15 : Improved 2Ms and 250ks Chandra catalogs (Xue+, 2016)J/ApJS/228/7 : Multi-wavelength data in CANDELS COSMOS field (Nayyeri+, 2017)J/ApJS/229/32 : CANDELS: multiwavelength catalogs in the EGS (Stefanon+, 2017)J/ApJS/235/17 : NuSTAR Extragalactic Surveys: UDS field (Masini+, 2018)J/A+A/618/A85 : Spectroscopy of 3<z<4 quiescent galaxies (Schreiber+ 2018)J/ApJ/890/7 : Environment of galaxies in 5 CANDELS fields (Chartab+, 2020)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/897/44https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/897/44http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/897/44https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/897/44https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/897/44http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/897/44GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/897/44/table5 (Candidate galaxies and their likelihood measures from different methods)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/897/44/table5?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/897/44/table5?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/897/44/table5?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true150.08392972.22353370.0055555555555555566/11252 11425 17679 17690 27258 35935https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/897/44?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/897/44/table5Candidate galaxies and their likelihood measures from different methodsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
