Mass fraction of stars formed as a function of lookback time (bottom axis) and redshift (top axis) for all components (All: blue, galaxy: orange, C1: green, C2: red, and C3: violet). All components seem to be forming 50% of their total mass by a redshift of ∼14 (t50 ∼ 150 Myr). Note, however, that the results indicate a large range of possible SFHs (as indicated by the errors given as the shaded regions).
