FROM STARBURST TO QUIESCENCE: TESTING ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FEEDBACK IN RAPIDLY QUENCHING POST-STARBURST GALAXIES [PDF]

, 2014
Post-starbursts are galaxies in transition from the blue cloud to the red sequence. Although they are rare today, integrated over time they may be an important pathway to the red sequence.

Dynamics of starbursting dwarf galaxies: I Zw 18 [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012
I Zw 18 is a prototype Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD), characterized by a strong starburst and extremely low metallicity (Z ~ 0.02 Zsun). It has long been considered a candidate young galaxy in the Local Universe, but recent studies indicate the presence of old stars. We analysed archival VLA observations of the 21 cm line and found that the HI associated to

SQuIGG E: Buried Star Formation Cannot Explain the Rapidly Fading CO(2–1) Luminosity in Massive, z ∼ 0.7 Post-starburst Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal
Observational 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.

Dust and gas in luminous proto-cluster galaxies at z=4.05: the case for different cosmic dust evolution in normal and starburst galaxies [PDF]

, 2014
We measure the dust and gas content of the three sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the GN20 proto-cluster at z=4.05 using new IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI) CO(4-3) and 1.2-3.3mm continuum observations.

Revisiting the Gas Dynamics of Henize 2–10: Possible Drivers of the Starburst

The Astrophysical Journal
The triggers of starburst episodes are a key component to our understanding of the baryon cycle in galaxies. Galaxy mergers are a commonly suggested catalyst for starbursts, but once the galaxies coalesce into a single kinematically disturbed system ...

Equivalent width Measurements in Optical Spectra of Galaxies in Local Clusters: Hints On the Star Formation History in Clusters

Open Astronomy, 2011
Equivalent widths of spectral lines in the optical spectra of galaxies are commonly used to characterize their stellar populations and to get some insight on their evolution.

Discovery of GeV emission from the direction of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 2146

, 2014
Recent detection of high-energy gamma-ray emission from starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253 suggests that starburst galaxies are huge reservoirs of cosmic rays and these cosmic rays convert a significant fraction of their energy into gamma-rays by ...

GALACTIC WINDS IN IRREGULAR STARBURST GALAXIES [PDF]

, 2001
In this paper we present some results concerning the study of the development of galactic winds in blue compact galaxies. In particular, we model a situation very similar to that of the galaxy IZw18, the most metal poor and unevolved galaxy known locally.

The Calibration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Dust Emission as a Star Formation Rate Indicator in the AKARI NEP Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dust emission has been proposed as an effective extinction-independent star formation rate (SFR) indicator in the mid-infrared, but this may depend on conditions in the interstellar medium.
