- A quiescent galaxy at z=7.3 (cosmic time 700 Myr).
- The JWST/NIRSpec spectrum of this galaxy from our JADES program exhibits a complete absence of nebular emission lines, while the Balmer break and Lyα drop are unambiguously detected.
- They infer a short and intense burst of star formation followed by rapid quenching, about 10–20 Myr before the epoch of observation.
