Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback in Quiescent Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Traced by Ionized Gas Emission

We analyze ionized gas emission lines in deep rest-frame optical spectra of 14 massive ( $\mathrm{log}{M}_{* }\gt 10.2$ M _⊙ ) quiescent galaxies at redshifts 1.7 <  z  < 3.5 observed with JWST/NIRSpec by the Blue Jay survey. Robust detection of emission lines in 71% of the sample indicates th...
