Two Distinct Classes of Quiescent Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST PRIMER and UNCOVER
Using the JWST UNCOVER and PRIMER Treasury surveys, we measure the sizes of 332 7<logM<11 quiescent galaxies at cosmic noon (1<z<3). We find that there exist two distinct populations of quiescent galaxies at this epoch: a young, low-mass, disky population and an older, massive, spheroidal population, further highlighting the different mechanisms involved in galaxy evolution at low masses.

The Differential Assembly History of the Centers and Outskirts of Main Sequence Galaxies at $z∼2.3$
We present a study of spatially-resolved star formation histories for 60 z~2.3 main-sequence, star-forming galaxies. The results suggest that selecting star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon frequently includes systems in an “evolved” evolutionary phase where the centers have recently started a burst of star formation activity that will likely initiate inside-out quenching in the next several hundred million years.
