Cumulative number density of massive quiescent galaxies as a function of redshift. Predictions from GAEA2023 (shown by the solid black line in each panel) are compared with predictions from independent recently published models. The latter are shown as coloured lines, as indicated in the legend in the top panel. All model predictions correspond to galaxies more massive than 10^10.5 M_⊙ and do not include any uncertainty on the properties considered (intrinsic predictions are shown). Top and bottom panels correspond to two different (flat) cuts in sSFR to select quiescent galaxies, as indicated in the bottom left of each panel.
