Current Star Formation in Post-Starburst Galaxies? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 Radio continuum observations are a probe of star formation in galaxies, and are unaffected by dust extinction. Observations of the distant rich cluster Cl 0939+4713 have detected radio galaxies classified as post-starburst (``k+a'') on the basis of their optical spectra, and presumably this situation arises from heavily dust-obscured star formation ...

A Simple Spectroscopic Technique to Identify Rejuvenating Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Rejuvenating galaxies are unusual galaxies that fully quench and then subsequently experience a “rejuvenation” event to become star-forming once more. Rejuvenation rates vary substantially in models of galaxy formation: 10%–70% of massive galaxies are ...

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics
Annalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

Sparks: The Magellan/FIRE Survey from Starburst to Post-starburst
The Astrophysical JournalRapid transitions from starburst to quiescence constitute a key evolutionary pathway in galaxy formation. Post-starburst galaxies trace this brief phase, exhibiting optical spectra dominated by intermediate-age stellar populations with strong Balmer ...

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2005 Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Excess Of Post-Starburst Galaxies In Distant Galaxy Clusters
, 2017 I present a study on the impact of environment on galaxy evolution in distant galaxy clusters between redshifts 0.5 and 1.0. We find candidate galaxy clusters by applying a friends-of-friends algorithm to the deep photometric data of the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey. Through studying the stellar mass functions, we reveal a strong excess of low-mass rapidly-

The Astrophysical JournalRecent observations at low redshift have revealed that some post-starburst galaxies retain significant molecular gas reservoirs despite low ongoing star formation rates, challenging most theoretical predictions that rely on heating or expelling gas ...

A polarimetry study of starburst galaxies [PDF]
, 1996 Optical imaging polarimetry has been carried out for a number of starburst galaxies under various morphological classifications. In several cases, kpc-scale reflection nebulae are detected which arise from dust grains scattering starburst radiation ...
