The origins of post-starburst galaxies at z < 0.05 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Post-starburst galaxies can be identified via the presence of prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in their spectra. We present a comprehensive study of the origin of strong Balmer lines in a volume-limited sample of 189 galaxies with $0.019.5$ and projected axis ratio $b/a>0.32$.

Post-starburst properties of post-merger galaxies
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are transition galaxies showing evidence of recent rapid star formation quenching. To understand the role of galaxy mergers in triggering quenching, we investigate the incidence of PSBs and resolved PSB properties in post-merger galaxies using both SDSS single-fibre spectra and MaNGA resolved IFU ...

Post-starburst galaxies in SDSS-IV MaNGA [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 ABSTRACT Post-starburst galaxies, identified by their unusually strong Balmer absorption lines and weaker than average emission lines, have traditionally been selected based on their central stellar populations. Here we identify 360 galaxies with post-starburst regions from the MaNGA integral field survey and classify these galaxies into

Evolution Through the Post-starburst Phase: Using Post-starburst Galaxies as Laboratories for Understanding the Processes that Drive Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2021 Post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies trace the fastest and most dramatic processes in galaxy evolution. Recent work studying the evolution of galaxies through this phase have revealed insights on how galaxies undergo structural and stellar population changes as well as the role of various feedback mechanisms.

The star formation histories of z ∼ 1 post-starburst galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We present the star formation histories of 39 galaxies with high-quality rest-frame optical spectra at 0.5 < z < 1.3 selected to have strong Balmer absorption lines and/or Balmer break, and compare to a sample of spectroscopically selected quiescent galaxies at the same redshift.

AGB populations in post-starburst galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 In a previous paper we compared the SEDs of a sample of 808 K+A galaxies from the FUV to the MIR to the predictions of the spectrum synthesis models explicitly using AGB components. Here we use the new AGB-light models from C.

The evolution of post-starburst galaxies from z=2 to 0.5 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We present the evolution in the number density and stellar mass functions of photometrically selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSSUltraDeep Survey,with redshifts of 0.510.

Chronos and KAIROS: MOSFIRE observations of post-starburst galaxies in z ∼ 1 clusters and groups [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We present an exploration of ∼500 spectroscopically confirmed galaxies in and around two large-scale structures (LSSs) at z ∼ 1 drawn from the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large Scale Environments survey, an ongoing, wide-field photometric and ...

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.
