The impact of quenching on galaxy profiles in the
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We study specific star formation rate (sSFR) and gas profiles of star-forming (SF) and green valley (GV) galaxies in the simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. SF galaxy half-light radii (Rhalf) at z = 0 and their evolution (∝(1 + z)−0.78) agree with observations.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Star formation quenching in galaxies [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Physica, Mechanica & Astronomica, 2017 The cosmic star formation rate density is peaked at $z\sim2$ and declines continuously since then, implying that the quenching of star formation has been the dominating process in galaxy evolution in the past $\sim10$ Gyr. As a result, the present day universe does not contain many star-bursting galaxies, which were the dominating population at $z\sim2$

Quenching of the star formation activity in cluster galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 We study the star formation quenching mechanism in cluster galaxies by fitting the SED of the Herschel Reference Survey, a complete volume-limited K-band-selected sample of nearby galaxies including objects in different density regions, from the core of the Virgo cluster to the general field. The SED are fitted using the CIGALE SED modelling code.

The Colors and Sizes of Recently Quenched Galaxies: A Result of Compact Starburst before Quenching [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract We analyze the colors and sizes of 32 quiescent (UVJ-selected) galaxies with strong Balmer absorption (EW(Hδ) ≥ 4 Å) at z ∼ 0.8 drawn from DR2 of the LEGA-C survey to test the hypothesis that these galaxies experienced compact, central starbursts before quenching.

A Solar Analog Model for Decrease in Far Ultraviolet Irradiance Under a Grand Minimum
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Solar analog field stars having a range of magnetic activity can provide an estimate of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability relevant to understanding the Sun's influence on terrestrial climate. This approach is particularly useful for far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that cannot be observed from the Earth surface.

Identifying and Distinguishing Quenching Galaxies with Spatially Resolved Star Formation in TNG50
The Astrophysical JournalUsing the TNG50 simulation, we determine observationally motivated metrics that can distinguish quenching galaxies from star-forming galaxies for M _* ≥ 10 ^9.5 M _⊙ , based on the spatial distribution of their stellar populations. Quenching galaxies are

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The Southeastern European Mountain System (SEEMS) is a well‐known glacial refugium for European fauna. Bridging the Mediterranean and Caucasus biodiversity hotspots, it is a melting point for diverse faunal elements, but also a center of origin and subsequent dispersal of a unique component of European biodiversity.

A STELLAR MASS THRESHOLD FOR QUENCHING OF FIELD GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We demonstrate that dwarf galaxies (10^7 < M_stellar < 10^9 Msun) with no active star formation are extremely rare (<0.06%) in the field. Our sample is based on the NASA-Sloan Atlas which is a re-analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8.
