The Astronomical JournalObservational 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.

Caught in the Act of Quenching? -- A Population of Post-Starburst Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsWe report the discovery of post-starburst ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), identified through spectroscopic analysis with KCWI at the Keck II Telescope. Our analysis is based on a sample of 44 candidate UDGs selected from the Systematically Measuring Ultra-

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

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,

No Metallicity Preference in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal LettersFast 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 JournalPost-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.

The role of E plus A and post-starburst galaxies - I. Models and model results [PDF]
, 2009 Different compositions of galaxy types in the field in comparison to galaxy clusters as described by the morphology-density relation in the local universe are interpreted as a result of transformation processes from late- to early-type galaxies.
