Widespread Rapid Quenching at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Deep Spectroscopy

The Astrophysical Journal
Massive quiescent galaxies in the young Universe are expected to be quenched rapidly, but it is unclear whether they all experience starbursts before quenching and what physical mechanism drives rapid quenching. We study 14 massive quiescent galaxies ( $\

Star formation quenching precedes morphological transformation in COSMOS-Web’s richest galaxy groups

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We analyzed the 25 richest galaxy groups in COSMOS-Web across the redshift range z = 0.18–3.65, identified using the Adaptive Matched Identifier of Clustered Objects (AMICO) algorithm.

A Massive Quiescent Galaxy in a Group Environment at z = 4.53

The Astrophysical Journal
We report on the spectroscopic confirmation of a massive quiescent galaxy at z _spec = 4.53 in the COSMOS field. The object was first identified as a galaxy with suppressed star formation at z _phot ∼ 4.65 from the COSMOS2020 catalog.

A Quenched and Relatively Isolated Dwarf Galaxy in the Local Volume

The Astrophysical Journal
An increasing number of discoveries of isolated and quenched dwarf galaxies are challenging the idea that the present-day local environment of low-mass systems is the main determinant of their quenching.

The SAGA Survey. V. Modeling Satellite Systems around Milky Way–Mass Galaxies with Updated UniverseMachine

The Astrophysical Journal
Environment plays a critical role in shaping the assembly of low-mass galaxies. Here, we use the U niverse M achine (UM) galaxy–halo connection framework and Data Release 3 of the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey to place dwarf galaxy ...

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. II -- Post-merger quenching peaks within 500 Myr of coalescence

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Mechanisms for quenching star formation in galaxies remain hotly debated, with galaxy mergers an oft-proposed pathway. In Ellison et al. (2022) we tested this scenario by quantifying the fraction of recently and rapidly quenched post-starbursts (PSBs) in

Astrophysical black holes: An explanation for the galaxy quenching

Journal of High Energy Astrophysics
In light of increasing observational evidence supporting the existence of ultra-compact objects, we adopt the term astrophysical black hole to refer to any object having a huge mass confined within a sufficiently small region of spacetime. This terminology encompasses both the classical black hole solutions predicted by general relativity, as well as ...

Exploring Lenticular Galaxy Formation in Field Environments Using NewHorizon: Evidence for Counterrotating Gas Accretion as a Formation Channel

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation pathways of lenticular galaxies (S0s) in field environments remain a matter of debate. We utilize the cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, NewHorizon , to investigate the issue. We select two massive star formation quenched S0s as our main

Searching within Galaxies for the Earliest Signs of Quenching With Spatially Resolved Star Formation Histories in UVCANDELS Galaxies at z < 0.3

The Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the complicated processes that regulate star formation and cause a galaxy to become quiescent is key to our comprehension of galaxy evolution.
