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.

The cold gas content of post-starburst galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 Post-starburst galaxies, or E+A galaxies, are characterized by optical spectra showing strong Balmer absorption lines, indicating a young stellar population, and little or no emission lines, implying no active star formation. These galaxies are interpreted as a transitional population between star-forming, disc-dominated galaxies and spheroidal ...

On Post-Starburst Galaxies Dominating Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2019 Abstract A starburst induced by a galaxy merger may create a relatively thin central stellar disk at radius ≤100 pc. We calculate the rate of tidal disruption events (TDEs) by the inspiraling secondary supermassive black hole (SMBH) through the disk. With a small enough stellar velocity dispersion (

Do post-starburst galaxies host compact molecular gas reservoirs? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2022 ABSTRACT We analysed the high-resolution (up to ∼0.2 arcsec) ALMA CO (2–1) and 1.3 mm dust continuum data of eight gas-rich post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) in the local Universe, six of which had been studied by a recent work. In contrast to this study reporting the detections of extraordinarily compact (i.e.

THE EVOLUTION OF POST-STARBURST GALAXIES FROM z ∼ 1 TO THE PRESENT [PDF]
, 2016 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.

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 Post-starburst Evolution of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract We constrain the recent star formation histories of the host galaxies of eight optical/UV-detected tidal disruption events (TDEs). Six hosts had quick starbursts of <200 Myr duration that ended 10–1000 Myr ago, indicating that TDEs arise at different times in their hosts’ post-starburst evolution. If the disrupted star formed

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 $b/a>0.32$.
