Median SFHs of star-forming (dashed blue lines) and passive (solid red lines) galaxies in COSMOS2020 in several redshift ranges and decomposed into three mass bins, as indicated in the panels. The number of galaxies used to compute the median trend is indicated in the legend. The vertical grey shaded area (whose width depends on the considered redshift range) indicates the maximum look-back time above which the start of the SFH is not compatible with the age of the Universe.
