Towards a deeper understanding of the physics driving galaxy quenching – inferring trends in the gas content via extinction [PDF]
, 2019 In order to investigate the importance of different proposed quenching mechanisms, we use an indirect method to estimate gas masses for ∼62,000 SDSS DR7 galaxies.

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: exploring the role of molecular gas on galaxy star formation quenching [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Understanding how galaxies cease to form stars represents an outstanding challenge for galaxy evolution theories. This process of “star formation quenching” has been related to various causes, including active galactic nuclei activity, the influence of ...

The Mass Dependance of Satellite Quenching in Milky Way-like Halos [PDF]
, 2014 Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we examine the quenching of satellite galaxies around isolated Milky Way-like hosts in the local Universe. We find that the efficiency of satellite quenching around isolated galaxies is low and roughly constant over ...

Heart of darkness: the influence of galactic dynamics on quenching star formation in galaxy spheroids [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 Quenched galaxies are often observed to contain a strong bulge component. The key question is whether this reflects a causal connection – can star formation be quenched dynamically by bulges or the spheroids of early-type galaxies?

Gone after one orbit: How cluster environments quench galaxies [PDF]
, 2019 The effect of galactic orbits on a galaxy's internal evolution within a galaxy cluster environment has been the focus of heated debate in recent years.

Color Gradients along the Quiescent Galaxy Sequence: Clues to Quenching and Structural Growth [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 This Letter examines how the sizes, structures, and color gradients of galaxies change along the quiescent sequence. Our sample consists of ∼400 quiescent galaxies at 1.0 ≤ z ≤ 2.5 and in three CANDELS fields.

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 ...

Star Formation Quenching Timescale of Central Galaxies in a Hierarchical Universe [PDF]
, 2016 Central galaxies make up the majority of the galaxy population, including the majority of the quiescent population at $\mathcal{M}_* > 10^{10}\mathrm{M}_\odot$.

ELUCID. IV. Galaxy Quenching and its Relation to Halo Mass, Environment, and Assembly Bias [PDF]
, 2017 We examine the quenched fraction of central and satellite galaxies as a function of galaxy stellar mass, halo mass, and the matter density of their large-scale environment.

Beyond halo mass: quenching galaxy mass assembly at the edge of filaments [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We examine how the mass assembly of central galaxies depends on their location in the cosmic web. The Horizon-AGN simulation is analysed at z ∼ 2 using the DisPerSE code to extract multi-scale cosmic filaments.
