SQuIGG E: Buried Star Formation Cannot Explain the Rapidly Fading CO(2–1) Luminosity in Massive, z ∼ 0.7 Post-starburst Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal
Observational and theoretical studies have long held that rapid gas consumption in starbursts is responsible for the formation of the most massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift.

Unveiling the evolutionary history of local post-starburst galaxies through careful Bayesian modelling of their spectra

When we gaze upon the night sky into the stars in the Milky Way, it seems that the cosmos is constant, at least in the timescale of a lifetime. However, as our telescopes continued to improve, we have discovered that galaxies are instead dynamic systems,

The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Events

The Astrophysical Journal
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can be observed when stars get too close to supermassive black holes and are torn apart and accreted. The delay time distribution of TDEs, or rate of TDEs as a function of time since a burst of star formation, can be used ...

Clocking the Evolution of Post-starburst Galaxies: Methods and First Results [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2018
Abstract Detailed modeling of the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of post-starburst (or “E+A”) galaxies is impeded by the degeneracy between the time elapsed since the starburst ended (post-burst age), the fraction of stellar mass produced in the burst (burst strength), and the burst duration.

From starburst to quiescence : testing AGN feedback in rapidly Quenching post-starburst galaxies [PDF]

, 2014
We acknowledge financial support from the NSF grant AST-0808133. C.C.H. is grateful to the Klaus Tschira Foundation for financial support.Post-starbursts are galaxies in transition from the blue cloud to the red sequence.

No Metallicity Preference in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration extragalactic radio transients of unknown origin, and studying their host galaxies could offer clues to constrain progenitor models.

Selecting Post-starburst Galaxies Based on Star Formation History

The Astrophysical Journal
Post-starburst (PSB) galaxies are galaxies that have undergone a large burst of star formation followed by rapid quenching. Understanding their properties as a population can help us better understand how galaxies evolve to quiescence.

Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Starburst and Post-Starburst Galaxies in the Rich z ∼0.55 Cluster CL 0016+16

, 2010
We have used the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph on the W. M. Keck I telescope to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of a small sample of six ‘post-starburst’ and three ‘dusty-starburst’ galaxies in the rich cluster CL 0016+16 at z=0.55.
