Identifying Tidal Disruption Events via Prior Photometric Selection of Their Preferred Hosts
K. Decker French, Ann I. Zabludoff
A nuclear transient detected in a post-starburst galaxy or other quiescent galaxy with strong Balmer absorption is likely to be a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE). Identifying such gal…
Clocking the Evolution of Post-Starburst Galaxies: Methods and First Results
K. Decker French, Yujin Yang, Ann I. Zabludoff +1
Detailed modeling of the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies is impeded by the degeneracy between the time elapsed since the starburst ende…
Why Post-Starburst Galaxies are Now Quiescent
K. Decker French, Ann I. Zabludoff, Ilsang Yoon +5
Post-starburst or "E+A" galaxies are rapidly transitioning from star-forming to quiescence. While the current star formation rate of post-starbursts is already at the level of earl…
