Bursty stellar populations and obscured AGN in galaxy bulges

, 2007
[Abridged] We investigate trends between the recent star formation history and black hole growth in galaxy bulges in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

Widespread Rapid Quenching at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Deep Spectroscopy

The 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 ( $\

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

The 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.

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

The 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

The 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.

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Exploiting IRAM 30 m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50\%, a mildly increased CO excitation, and standard molecular-to-atomic gas ratios, compared to non-interacting ...

The FENIKS Survey: Spectroscopic Confirmation of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at z ∼ 3–5

The Astrophysical Journal
The measured ages of massive, quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 3–4 imply that massive galaxies quench as early as z ∼ 6. While the number of spectroscopic confirmations of quiescent galaxies at z < 3 has increased over the years, there are only a handful at z >
