Post-starburst Galaxies with Active Galactic Nucleus: Properties and Evolutionary Sequences

Junjie Huang, Yanmei Chen, Yong Shi +7

Post-starburst (PSB) galaxies, identified by strong Balmer absorption and weak nebular emission, provide a key laboratory for studying rapid quenching. Using the final data release…

The quenching time and timescale distribution of z~2 quiescent galaxies from precise colour distribution analysis

Vivienne Wild, Ho-Hin Leung, Adam Carnall +1

Understanding when and how galaxies quench their star formation is crucial for understanding the dominant physical processes at play. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of gala…

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…

The diverse quenching pathways of post-starburst galaxies in SDSS-IV MaNGA

Ho-Hin Leung, Vivienne Wild, Michail Papathomas +2

The quenching of star formation in galaxies is an important aspect of galaxy evolution, but the physical mechanisms that drive it are still not understood. Measuring the spatial di…

Low redshift post-starburst galaxies host abundant HI reservoirs

Sara L. Ellison, Qifeng Huang, Dong Yang +8

Studying the gas content of post-starburst (PSB) galaxies can provide valuable clues regarding the process of fast quenching. Although previous works have studied the molecular gas…

The infrared luminosity of retired and post-starburst galaxies: A cautionary tale for star formation rate measurements

Vivienne Wild, Natalia Vale Asari, Kate Rowlands +3

In galaxies with significant ongoing star formation there is an impressively tight correlation between total infrared luminosity (L) and H luminosity (L), when H$…

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…

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-…

Galaxy mergers can rapidly shut down star formation

Sara L. Ellison, Scott Wilkinson, Joanna Woo +6

Galaxy mergers trigger both star formation and accretion onto the central supermassive black hole. As a result of subsequent energetic feedback processes, it has long been proposed…

The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data

Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337

This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…

Introducing a Real-time Interactive GUI Tool for Visualization of Galaxy Spectra

Ho-Hin Leung, Vivienne Wild, Adam Carnall +1

To aid the understanding of the non-linear relationship between galaxy properties and predicted spectral energy distributions (SED), we present a new interactive graphical user int…

Hierarchically modelling Kepler dwarfs and subgiants to improve inference of stellar properties with asteroseismology

Alexander J. Lyttle, Guy R. Davies, Tanda Li +9

With recent advances in modelling stars using high-precision asteroseismology, the systematic effects associated with our assumptions of stellar helium abundance () and the mixi…
