SFR–M_⋆ time evolution of the three example galaxies (bigger symbols), from redshift z = 0.7 to 0.3. The galaxy ID follows the nomenclature as in TNG50. Galaxy ID 172231 (blue arrows) slowly quenches (ID 218606) until it reaches the red sequence (ID 251598). Galaxy ID 222130 (green arrows) stays in the green valley (ID 234935) and then moves to the blue cloud sequence (ID 277675). Galaxy ID 212087 (red arrows) slowly rejuvenates (ID 253460) and then moves to the green valley (ID 298351). Dashed lines mark the MS at z = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 as defined in Koprowski et al. (2024).
