The infrared luminosity of retired and post-starburst galaxies: A cautionary tale for star formation rate measurements

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
In galaxies with significant ongoing star formation there is an impressively tight correlation between total infrared luminosity (L${\mathstrut}_{TIR}$) and H$\alpha$ luminosity (L${\mathstrut}_{H\alpha}$), when H$\alpha$ is properly corrected for ...

The Structure Of Post-Starburst Galaxies In The Early Universe

open access: yes, 2017
Despite decades of study, we still do not fully understand why some massive galaxies abruptly switch off their star formation in the early Universe, and what causes their rapid transition to the red sequence. Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are key to understanding this transition phase, as they represent systems in which a major burst of star formation

Can Supernovae Quench Star Formation in High-z Galaxies?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
JWST is providing a unique opportunity to directly study the feedback processes regulating star formation (SF) in early galaxies. The two z > 5 quiescent systems (JADES-GS-z7-01-QU and MACS0417-z5BBG) detected so far show a recent starburst after which ...

Dissecting the γ-Ray Emissions of the Nearby Galaxies NGC 1068 and NGC 253

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Intrigued by recent high-energy study results for nearby galaxies with γ -ray emission and in particular NGC 1068 that has been detected as a neutrino-emitting source by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, we conduct a detailed analysis of the γ -ray data ...

Resolving the Nuclear Environments of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies within 45 pc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations, we present the highest-spatial-resolution spectroscopic study to date of four tidal disruption event (TDE) host galaxies, with the best observed being the post-starburst host

A Multiwavelength Evaluation of AGN in the Post-starburst Phase

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The quenching of star formation is a crucial phase in galaxy evolution. Although feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been proposed as a key driver of this transition, the lack of strong AGN in nearby quenching galaxies raises questions about ...

A Catalog of Post-starburst Galaxies from DESI

open access: yesResearch Notes of the AAS
Abstract Post-starburst galaxies are galaxies that are no longer producing stars and have entered or are entering quiescence. These galaxies can be identified with spectral features, for which the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) data provides an opportunity to do so at a higher redshift range compared ...

Strong Scatterings Invalidate Proposed Models of Enhanced Tidal Disruption Event Rates in Post-starburst Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Stars wandering too close to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can be ripped apart by the tidal forces of the black hole. Recent optical surveys have revealed that E+A galaxies are over-represented by a factor of ∼30, while green galaxies are over ...

Do Red Galaxies Form More Stars than Blue Galaxies?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A new model is proposed in which typical galaxies form most of their stellar mass in a phase with an intrinsically red stellar population. In the standard picture, galaxies with intrinsically red stellar populations are believed to have old stellar ...

Sparks. II. Panchromatic Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling and Galaxy Physical Properties across the Starburst to Post-starburst Sequence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Sparks survey provides rest-frame near-infrared spectroscopy for 93 local massive galaxies spanning the rapid transition from starburst to post-starburst, including Balmer-strong galaxies as well as systems with active galactic nuclei (AGNs ...
