Spatially resolved star-formation histories of local post-starburst galaxies: Starburst and quenching spatial patterns consistent with recent mergers

Ho-Hin Leung, Vivienne Wild, Michail Papathomas +6

Post-starburst (PSB) galaxies, having recently experienced a starburst followed by rapid quenching, are excellent laboratories to probe physical mechanisms that drive starbursts an…

Chemical evolution of local post-starburst galaxies: Implications for the mass-metallicity relation

Ho-Hin Leung, Vivienne Wild, Michail Papathomas +5

We use the stellar fossil record to constrain the stellar metallicity evolution and star-formation histories of the post-starburst (PSB) regions within 45 local post-starburst gala…

Shape asymmetries and the relation between lopsidedness and radial alignment in simulated galaxies

Jinzhi Shen, Xufen Wu, Yirui Zheng +1

Galaxies are observed to be lopsided, meaning that they are more massive and more extended along one direction than the opposite. In this work, we provide a statistical analysis of…

Rapidly quenched galaxies in the Simba cosmological simulation and observations

Yirui Zheng, Romeel Dave, Vivienne Wild +1

A wide range of mechanisms have been put forward to explain the quenching of star formation in galaxies with cosmic time, however, the true balance of responsible mechanisms remain…

Less than the sum of its parts: the dust-corrected H luminosity of star-forming galaxies explored at different spatial resolutions with MaNGA and MUSE

N. Vale Asari, V. Wild, A. L. de Amorim +10

The H and H emission line luminosities measured in a single integrated spectrum are affected in non-trivial ways by point-to-point variations in dust attenuation in a galaxy.…

Comparison of stellar populations in simulated and real post-starburst galaxies in MaNGA

Yirui Zheng, Vivienne Wild, Natalia Lahén +4

Recent integral field spectroscopic (IFS) surveys have revealed radial gradients in the optical spectral indices of post-starburst galaxies, which can be used to constrain their fo…

The origins of post-starburst galaxies at z<0.05

Milena M. Pawlik, Layth Taj Aldeen, Vivienne Wild +8

Post-starburst galaxies can be identified via the presence of prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in their spectra. We present a comprehensive study of the origin of strong…
