The Heavy Metal Survey: The Evolution of Stellar Metallicities, Abundance Ratios, and Ages of Massive Quiescent Galaxies since z ∼ 2

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the elemental abundances and ages of 19 massive quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 1.4 and z ∼ 2.1 from the Keck Heavy Metal Survey. The ultradeep LRIS and MOSFIRE spectra were modeled using a full-spectrum stellar population fitting code with variable

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 ( $\

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

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
