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

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

The First Quenched Galaxies: When and How?

Astrophysical Journal Letters
Many quiescent galaxies discovered in the early Universe by JWST raise fundamental questions on when and how these galaxies became and stayed quenched. Making use of the latest version of the semianalytic model GAEA that provides good agreement with the ...

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1)

Astronomy and Astrophysics
Investigating what drives the quenching of star formation in galaxies is key to understanding their evolution. The Euclid mission will provide rich spatial and spectral data from optical to infrared wavelengths for millions of galaxies, and enable ...

Quenching of Massive Disk Galaxies in the IllustrisTNG Simulation

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
A rare population of massive disk galaxies have been found to invade the red sequence dominated by early-type galaxies. The formation and origins of these red/quenched massive disk galaxies have recently gained great interest.

Beyond Ultra-diffuse Galaxies. II. Environmental Quenching of Mass–Size Outliers among the Satellites of Milky Way Analogs

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Recent observations have reignited interest in a population of dwarf galaxies that are large and diffuse for their mass, often called ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs).

Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We explore how the fraction of quenched galaxies changes in groups of galaxies with respect to the distance to the center of the group, redshift, and stellar mass to determine the dominant process of environmental quenching in 0.2 < z < 0.8 groups.

Active Galactic Nucleus Quenching in Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We examine the quenching characteristics of 328 isolated dwarf galaxies $\left({10}^{8}\lt {M}_{\mathrm{star}}/{M}_{\odot }\lt {10}^{10}\right)$ within the Romulus25 cosmological hydrodynamic simulation.

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. IX. First Spectroscopic Confirmation of Low-mass Quiescent Galaxies at z > 2 with NIRISS

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
How passive galaxies form, and the physical mechanisms which prevent star formation over long timescales, are some of the most outstanding questions in understanding galaxy evolution.

ELVES. III. Environmental Quenching by Milky Way–mass Hosts

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Isolated dwarf galaxies usually exhibit robust star formation but satellite dwarf galaxies are often devoid of young stars, even in Milky Way–mass groups.

Rapid Quenching of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The existence of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift seems to require rapid quenching, but it is unclear whether all quiescent galaxies have gone through this phase and what physical mechanisms are involved.
