Local starburst galaxies and their descendants

open access: yes, 2016
Aims. Despite strong interest in the starburst phenomenon in extragalactic astronomy, the concept remains ill-defined. Here we use a strict definition of starburst to examine the statistical properties of starburst galaxies in the local universe. We also

Widespread Rapid Quenching at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Deep Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe 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 ( $\

Starburst galaxies

open access: yes, 1987
The infrared properties of star-forming galaxies, primarily as determined by the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS), are compared to X-ray, optical, and radio properties.

Quenching through Tidal Gas Removal: Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Tidal Tails of z ∼ 0.7 Post-starburst Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The active suppression of star formation in galaxies is critical for preventing the growth of overly massive systems and explaining the formation of present-day elliptical galaxies.

Molecular Gas Excitation in z ∼ 0.7 Gas-rich Poststarburst Galaxies from SQuIGG E

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Many poststarburst galaxies at z  ∼ 0.7 have been shown to retain substantial molecular gas reservoirs yet host low ongoing star formation, suggesting that the remaining gas may be inefficient at forming stars during the early postburst phase. We present

Simulating High-redshift Galaxies: Enhancing UV Luminosity with Star Formation Efficiency and a Top-heavy IMF

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent findings from photometric and spectroscopic JWST surveys have identified examples of high-redshift galaxies at z  ≳ 10. These high- z galaxies appear to form much earlier and exhibit greater UV luminosity than predicted by theoretical work.

Dead or Alive? How Bursty Star Formation and Patchy Dust Can Cause Temporary Quiescence in High-redshift Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The recent discovery of a galaxy at z = 7.3 with undetected optical emission lines and a blue UV-to-optical continuum ratio in JWST spectroscopy is surprising and needs to be explained physically.

New Methods for Tracking Galaxy and Black Hole Evolution Using Post-Starburst Galaxies

open access: yes, 2017
Galaxies in transition from star-forming to quiescence are a natural laboratory for exploring the processes responsible for this evolution. Using a sample of post-starburst galaxies identified to have recently experienced a recent burst of star formation

A Post-Starburst Pathway to Forming Massive Galaxies and Their Black Holes at z>6

open access: yes
International audienceUnderstanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires an understanding of how stellar mass grows in the host galaxies.
