Galáxias post-starburst no universo local [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Física, Florianópolis, 2014Galáxias post-starburst (PSB) apresentam espectros com fortes linhas de absorção na série ...

Sparks: The Magellan/FIRE Survey from Starburst to Post-starburst

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Rapid 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 ...

Equivalent width Measurements in Optical Spectra of Galaxies in Local Clusters: Hints On the Star Formation History in Clusters

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
Equivalent widths of spectral lines in the optical spectra of galaxies are commonly used to characterize their stellar populations and to get some insight on their evolution.

A Simple Spectroscopic Technique to Identify Rejuvenating Galaxies

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The cold gas content of post-starburst galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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 ...

Cool Gas in the Circumgalactic Medium of Massive Post Starburst Galaxies

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Observing 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.

Current Star Formation in Post-Starburst Galaxies? [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Cold Gas in a Post-starburst Pair in the z ∼ 1.4 HeavyMetal Survey: Major Mergers as a Pathway to Retain Gas in Quenched Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent 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 ...

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.
