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 ...

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

A polarimetry study of starburst galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Optical imaging polarimetry has been carried out for a number of starburst galaxies under various morphological classifications. In several cases, kpc-scale reflection nebulae are detected which arise from dust grains scattering starburst radiation ...

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 ...

Ram-pressure-induced star formation in low-mass galaxies infalling onto the Coma cluster: Insights from DESI

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Ram-pressure stripping is a key driver of galaxy morphological transformation in clusters, contributing to the formation of quenched, especially dwarf, populations.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
