Are E+A Galaxies Dusty-Starbursts?: VLA 20cm Radio Continuum Observation

open access: yes, 2004
E+A galaxies are characterized as a galaxy with strong Balmer absorption lines but without any [OII] or Halpha emission lines. Strong Balmer absorption lines indicate that E+A galaxies have experienced a starburst within the last 100 Msun yr^-1) hidden ...

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 ...

The UV properties of E+A galaxies: constraints on feedback-driven quenching of star formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present the first large-scale study of E+A (post-starburst) galaxies that incorporates photometry in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. We find that the starburst that creates the E+A galaxy typically takes place within the last Gyr and creates a high ...

DESI Survey Validation Spectra Reveal an Increasing Fraction of Recently Quenched Galaxies at z ∼ 1

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We utilize ∼17,000 bright luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the novel Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Survey Validation spectroscopic sample, leveraging its deep (∼2.5 hr galaxy ^−1 exposure time) spectra to characterize the contribution of recently

Comparing Star Formation Histories and Evolutionary Pathways of Post-starburst and E+A Galaxies in TNG50 and SDSS-IV MaNGA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
E+A galaxies represent a class of recently quenched objects, with spectra that show evidence of a previous substantial starburst and strong Balmer absorption lines indicative of A-type stellar populations.

Post-starburst galaxies in simulations and observations

open access: yes, 2022
Post-starburst (PSB) galaxies are the galaxies in which star formation has recently been sharply truncated, as indicated by strong Balmer absorption lines alongside weak or absent nebular emission lines. PSBs are believed to be an important transitional state between the star- forming and quiescent populations, and could be important candidates for the

The Post-starburst Evolution of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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

Starburst Galaxies in Their Last Billion Years: An Hδ Absorption Line Selected Sample

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this paper, we focus on the study of starburst galaxies in their final billion years. Our galaxy selection is based solely on the presence of the H δ absorption line, which permits the later evolution of starburst galaxies to be traced, coinciding ...

MOSFIRE Spectroscopy of Quiescent Galaxies at 1.5 < z < 2.5. II - Star Formation Histories and Galaxy Quenching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigate the stellar populations for a sample of 24 quiescent galaxies at 1.5 < z < 2.5 using deep rest-frame optical spectra obtained with Keck MOSFIRE. By fitting templates simultaneously to the spectroscopic and photometric data, and exploring a

ADF22-WEB: Detection of a Molecular Gas Reservoir in a Massive Quiescent Galaxy Located in a z ≈ 3 Protocluster Core

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a study of the molecular gas reservoirs and dust contents in three quiescent galaxies (QGs) located in the core of the z = 3.09 SSA22 protocluster.
