Satellite dwarf galaxies: stripped but not quenched [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 In the Local Group, quenched gas-poor dwarfs galaxies are most often found close to the Milky Way and Andromeda, while star forming gas-rich ones are located at greater distances. This so-called morphology-density relation is often interpreted as the consequence of the ram pressure stripping of the satellites during their interaction with the Milky Way

Probing satellite quenching with galaxy clustering [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015 Satellites within simulated massive clusters are significantly spatially correlated with each other, even when those satellites are not gravitationally bound to each other. This correlation is produced by satellites that entered their hosts relatively recently, and is undetectable for satellites that have resided in their hosts for multiple dynamical ...

THE QUENCHING TIMESCALE AND QUENCHING RATE OF GALAXIES
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The average star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies has been declining since the redshift of 2. A fraction of galaxies quench and become quiescent. We constrain two key properties of the quenching process: the quenching timescale and the quenching rate among galaxies.

The GOGREEN survey: transition galaxies and the evolution of environmental quenching [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT We measure the rate of environmentally driven star formation quenching in galaxies at z ∼ 1, using eleven massive ($M\approx 2\times 10^{14}\, \mathrm{M}_\odot$) galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 1.0 < z < 1.4 from the GOGREEN sample. We identify three different types of transition galaxies: ‘green valley’ (

Environmental quenching of low-mass field galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 In the local Universe, there is a strong division in the star-forming properties of low-mass galaxies, with star formation largely ubiquitous amongst the field population while satellite systems are predominantly quenched. This dichotomy implies that environmental processes play the dominant role in suppressing star formation within this low-mass ...

The Way to Quench: Galaxy Evolution in A2142
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023 Abstract We show how the star formation activity of galaxies is progressively inhibited from the outer region to the center of the massive cluster A2142. From an extended spectroscopic redshift survey of 2239 galaxies covering a circular area of radius ∼11 Mpc from the cluster center, we extract a sample of 333 galaxies with known ...

Using large galaxy surveys to distinguish z~0.5 quiescent galaxy models [PDF]
, 2014 One of the most striking properties of galaxies is the bimodality in their star-formation rates. A major puzzle is why any given galaxy is star-forming or quiescent, and a wide range of physical mechanisms have been proposed as solutions. We consider how

Bursting and quenching in satellite galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 ABSTRACT The difference in stellar metallicity between red and blue galaxies with the same mass constrains the time-scale over which red galaxies ceased to form stars. Here we investigate this constraint with the galics 2.0 semi-analytic model of galaxy formation.

Pegasus W: An Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Outside the Halo of M31 Not Quenched by Reionization
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report the discovery of an ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxy, Pegasus W, located on the far side of the Milky Way–M31 system and outside the virial radius of M31.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We examine the wavelength dependence of radial light profiles based on Sérsic index n measurements of 1067 galaxies with M _* ≥ 10 ^9.5 M _⊙ and in the redshift range 0.5 < z < 3. The sample and rest-frame optical light profiles are drawn from the Cosmic
