Galaxy Quenching from Cosmic Web Detachment [PDF]
The Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2019 We propose the Cosmic Web Detachment (CWD) model, a framework to interpret the star-formation history of galaxies in a cosmological context. The CWD model unifies several starvation mechanisms known to disrupt or stop star formation into one single ...

Mapping stellar content to dark matter halos. II. Halo mass is the main driver of galaxy quenching [PDF]
, 2015 We develop a simple yet comprehensive method to distinguish the underlying drivers of galaxy quenching, using the clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing of red and blue galaxies in SDSS.

A Dichotomy in Satellite Quenching Around L* Galaxies [PDF]
, 2013 We examine the star formation properties of bright (~0.1 L*) satellites around isolated ~L* hosts in the local Universe using spectroscopically confirmed systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7. Our selection method is carefully designed with the aid

Star formation quenching in massive galaxies [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding how and why star formation turns off in massive galaxies is a major challenge for studies of galaxy evolution. Many theoretical explanations have been proposed, but a definitive consensus is yet to be reached.Comment: Comment published in ...

From Clusters to Proto-Clusters: The Infrared Perspective on Environmental Galaxy Evolution
Universe, 2022 Environment is one of the primary drivers of galaxy evolution; via multiple mechanisms, it can control the critical process of transforming galaxies from star forming to quiescent, commonly termed “quenching”. Despite its importance, however, we still do

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We identify the intrinsic dependence of star formation quenching on a variety of galactic and environmental parameters, utilizing a machine-learning approach with Random Forest classification.

Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore how the fraction of quenched galaxies changes in groups of galaxies with respect to the distance to the center of the group, redshift, and stellar mass to determine the dominant process of environmental quenching in 0.2 < z < 0.8 groups.

CLEAR: The Morphological Evolution of Galaxies in the Green Valley
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Quiescent galaxies having more compact morphologies than star-forming galaxies has been a consistent result in the field of galaxy evolution. What is not clear is at what point this divergence happens, i.e., when do quiescent galaxies become compact, and
