Probing cold gas and dust in quiescent galaxies across cosmic time
Anita Zanella, Sirio Belli, Belen Alcalde Pampliega +35
The discovery of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift by JWST has revealed that star formation can cease rapidly in the early Universe, yet the physical mechanisms responsib…
Spatially Resolved Kinematics of Post-starburst Galaxies
Bhavya Pardasani, K. Decker French
Star-forming galaxies can reach quiescence via rapid transition through merger-triggered starbursts that consequently affect both their kinematics and star formation rates. In this…
The ALMaQUEST Survey XII: Dense Molecular Gas as traced by HCN and HCO in Green Valley Galaxies
Lihwai Lin, Hsi-An Pan, Sara L. Ellison +11
We present ALMA observations of two dense gas tracers, HCN(1-0) and HCO(1-0), for three galaxies in the green valley and two galaxies on the star-forming main sequence with c…
Evolution of Gas Flows along the Starburst to Post-Starburst to Quiescent Galaxy Sequence
Yang Sun, Gwang-Ho Lee, Ann I. Zabludoff +5
We measure velocity offsets in the NaI (Na D) interstellar medium absorption lines to track how neutral galactic winds change as their host galaxies evolve. Ou…
Mid-Infrared Outbursts in Nearby Galaxies: Nuclear Obscuration and Connections to Hidden Tidal Disruption Events and Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei
Sierra A. Dodd, Arya Nukala, Isabelle Connor +5
We study the properties of galaxies hosting mid-infrared outbursts in the context of a catalog of five hundred thousand galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that nuc…
Fading AGN in Post-Starburst Galaxies
K. Decker French, Nicholas Earl, Annemarie B. Novack +4
The role of AGN in quenching galaxies and driving the evolution from star-forming to quiescent remains a key question in galaxy evolution. We present evidence from the Mapping Near…
The Young Supernova Experiment Data Release 1 (YSE DR1): Light Curves and Photometric Classification of 1975 Supernovae
P. D. Aleo, K. Malanchev, S. Sharief +80
We present the Young Supernova Experiment Data Release 1 (YSE DR1), comprised of processed multi-color Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) griz and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) gr photometry of 1…
Resolved Molecular Gas Observations of MaNGA Post-starbursts Reveal a Tumultuous Past
Justin Atsushi Otter, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +24
Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) have recently and rapidly quenched their star-formation, thus they are an important way to understand how galaxies transition from star-forming late-…
A fast rising tidal disruption event from a candidate intermediate mass black hole
C. R. Angus, V. F. Baldassare, B. Mockler +36
Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is evasive. Dwarf galaxies are thought…
A Multiwavelength view of IC 860: What Is in Action inside Quenching Galaxies
Yuanze Luo, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +15
We present a multiwavelength study of IC 860, a nearby post-starburst galaxy at the early stage of transitioning from blue and star-forming to red and quiescent. Optical images rev…
Examining the Properties of Low-Luminosity Hosts of Type Ia Supernovae from ASAS-SN
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Vera L. Berger, Jason T. Hinkle +14
We present a spectroscopic analysis of 44 low-luminosity host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) detected by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), using the e…
Are Active Galactic Nuclei in Post-Starburst Galaxies Driving the Change or Along for the Ride?
Lauranne Lanz, Sofia Stepanoff, Ryan C. Hickox +10
We present an analysis of 10 ks snapshot Chandra observations of 12 shocked post-starburst galaxies, which provide a window into the unresolved question of active galactic nuclei (…
Star formation and molecular gas properties of post-starburst galaxies
Dalya Baron, Hagai Netzer, K. Decker French +3
Post-starburst galaxies are believed to be in a rapid transition between major merger starbursts and quiescent ellipticals. Their optical spectrum is dominated by A-type stars, sug…
The State of the Molecular Gas in Post-Starburst Galaxies
K. Decker French, Adam Smercina, Kate Rowlands +7
The molecular gas in galaxies traces both the fuel for star formation and the processes that can enhance or suppress star formation. Observations of the molecular gas state can thu…
Linking Extragalactic Transients and their Host Galaxy Properties: Transient Sample, Multi-Wavelength Host Identification, and Database Construction
Yu-Jing Qin, Ann Zabludoff, Marina Kisley +7
Understanding the preferences of transient types for host galaxies with certain characteristics is key to studies of transient physics and galaxy evolution, as well as to transient…
Evidence for the preferential disruption of moderately massive stars by supermassive black holes
Brenna Mockler, Angela A. Twum, Katie Auchettl +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a unique opportunity to probe the stellar populations around supermassive black holes (SMBHs). By combining light curve modeling with spectra…
Types of Transients in the Centers of Post-Starburst and Quiescent Balmer-Strong Galaxies
Iair Arcavi, Irura Nyiha, K. Decker French
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have been found to show a preference for post-starburst (PS) and quiescent Balmer-strong (QBS) galaxies. This preference can be used to help find TDE…
After The Fall: Resolving the Molecular Gas in Post-Starburst Galaxies
Adam Smercina, John-David T. Smith, K. Decker French +8
Post-starburst (PSB), or 'E+A', galaxies represent a rapid transitional phase between major, gas-rich mergers and gas-poor, quiescent early-type galaxies. Surprisingly, many PSBs h…
