Dissecting the Mass Quenching in TNG50: Galaxy Size Determines the Quenching Mode [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalThe diminishing of star formation is accompanied by size differentiating, as quiescent galaxies are more compact than star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at fixed stellar mass. In order to understand how galaxy quenching is related to galaxy sizes, we performed

Galaxy Zoo: major galaxy mergers are not a significant quenching pathway [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples of visually selected major galaxy mergers and post-merger galaxies.

Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon
The Astrophysical JournalThe role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers to quenching.

Merger Shocks Enhance Quenching in Local Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalWe report evidence for enhanced quenching in low-redshift galaxy clusters hosting radio relics. This effect is strongest for low-mass galaxies and is consistent with a rapid quenching of star formation.

The First Quenched Galaxies: When and How?
The Astrophysical Journal LettersMany quiescent galaxies discovered in the early Universe by JWST raise fundamental questions on when and how these galaxies became and stayed quenched. Making use of the latest version of the semianalytic model GAEA that provides good agreement with the ...

Quenched Galaxies in Clusters of Galaxies and Their Outskirts [PDF]
Astrophysical Bulletin, 2020 Based on the SDSS data, the properties of galaxies with quenched star formation (QGs) within the "splashback"-radius of galaxy clusters $R_{\rm sp}$ and beyond it have been studied.

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. II -- Post-merger quenching peaks within 500 Myr of coalescence [PDF]
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsMechanisms 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

Quenching of satellite galaxies at the outskirts of galaxy clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We find, using cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters, that the hot X-ray emitting intra-cluster medium (ICM) enclosed within the outer accretion shock extends out to $R_{\rm shock}\sim(2 - 3) R_{\rm vir}$, where $R_{\rm vir}$ is the standard virial radius of the halo.
