Why Post-starburst Galaxies Are Now Quiescent [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Post-starburst or “E + A” galaxies are rapidly transitioning from star-forming to quiescence. While the current star formation rate (SFR) of post-starbursts is already at the level of early-type galaxies, we recently discovered that many have large CO-traced molecular gas reservoirs consistent with normal star-forming galaxies ...

Post‐starburst galaxies and the transformation of blue into red galaxies [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2009 AbstractWe present deep single‐dish radio observations of a sample of nearby post‐starburst galaxies (0.05 < z < 0.1). About 50% of these post‐starburst galaxies are detected at 21 cm, with HI masses of ∼109 M⊙, up to ∼1010 M⊙. These post‐starburst galaxies are as gas‐rich as spiral galaxies with comparable luminosities. There appears to exist no

Evidence for multiple types of post-starburst galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe quenching mechanisms of galaxies are not yet fully understood, but post-starburst galaxies provide one explanation for the rapid transition between star-forming and quiescent galaxies. At low redshift, it is generally thought that the starburst initiating the post-starburst phase is merger-driven, however, not all post-starburst galaxies show ...

Post-starburst galaxies and the galaxy color bimodality
Il Nuovo Cimento B, 2008 We present results from a multi-wavelength observing campaign of a sample of post-starburst galaxies. The origin and redshift evolution of the bimodal galaxy color distribution is at the focus of current extragalactic and cosmological research. Post-starburst galaxies have just experienced a strong and abruptly truncated starburst, causing them to ...

Stars, Gas, and Star Formation of Distant Post-starburst Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a comprehensive multiwavelength study of five post-starburst galaxies with M _* > 10 ^11 M _⊙ at z ∼ 0.7, examining their stars, gas, and current and past star formation activities.

Cool Gas in the Circumgalactic Medium of Massive Post Starburst Galaxies [PDF]
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsObserving the interplay between galaxies and their gaseous surroundings is crucial for understanding how galaxies form and evolve, including the roles of long-lived cool gas reservoirs, starburst and AGN driven outflows.

Spatially Resolved Kinematics of Post-starburst Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalStar-forming galaxies can reach quiescence via rapid transition through merger-triggered starbursts that consequently affect both their kinematics and star formation rates.

THE EVOLUTION OF POST-STARBURST GALAXIES FROM z ∼ 1 TO THE PRESENT [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Post-starburst galaxies are in the transitional stage between blue, star-forming galaxies and red, quiescent galaxies and therefore hold important clues for our understanding of galaxy evolution. In this paper, we systematically searched for and identified a large sample of post-starburst galaxies from the spectroscopic data set
