SQuIGGLE: Radio AGN Found Predominantly in Young, Gas-rich Post-starburst Galaxies at z ~ 0.7

Vincenzo R. D'Onofrio, Justin S. Spilker, Krista L. Smith +13

The processes that rapidly quench massive galaxies and maintain their quiescence remain poorly understood. Substantial molecular gas reservoirs can survive this shutdown in post-st…

Extreme MgII Emission in Recently-Quenched Galaxies: A New Sample of Intermediate-Redshift Post-Starburst Quasars from the DESI Early Data Release

Margaret E. Verrico, Aayan Verma, K. Decker French +8

Post-starburst galaxies are galaxies which have recently and rapidly shut off star formation. AGN activity is often invoked to explain this rapid quenching, but most post-starburst…

Tracing Radio AGN-Driven Quenching in Post-Starburst Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Pallavi Patil, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14

We present a radio continuum study of photometrically selected cosmic noon (0.5<z<3) post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) in the UKIDSS Deep Survey (UDS) field to assess if radio-mode Ac…

A Multiwavelength Evaluation of AGN in the Post-Starburst Phase

Yuanze Luo, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14

The quenching of star formation is a crucial phase in galaxy evolution. Although active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback has been proposed as a key driver of this transition, the lac…

Clumpy, dense gas in the outflow of NGC 1266

Justin Atsushi Otter, Katherine Alatalo, Kate Rowlands +23

Outflows are one of the most spectacular mechanisms through which active galactic nuclei (AGN) impact their host galaxy, though the role of AGN-driven outflows in global star forma…

SQuIGGE: Buried star formation cannot explain the rapidly fading CO(2-1) luminosity in massive, post-starburst galaxies

David J. Setton, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +12

Observational and theoretical studies have long held that rapid gas consumption in starbursts is responsible for the formation of quiescent galaxies. However, studies of recently q…

Quenching Through Tidal Gas Removal: Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Tidal Tails of z ~ 0.7 Post-Starburst Galaxies

Vincenzo R. D'Onofrio, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +10

The active suppression of star formation in galaxies is critical in preventing the growth of overly massive systems and explaining the formation of present-day elliptical galaxies.…

Unusually High Gas-to-Dust Ratios Observed in High-Redshift Quiescent Galaxies

Justin S. Spilker, Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan +15

Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-w…

Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-Look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector

Margaret E. Verrico, K. Decker French, Katherine Suess +7

Changing-look active galactic nuclei, or CL-AGN, are AGN which appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger thes…

Cold gas in a post-starburst pair at z ~ 1.4: major mergers as a pathway to quenching in the HeavyMetal survey

Katherine A. Suess, Aliza G. Beverage, Mariska Kriek +12

Recent observations at low redshift have revealed that some post-starburst galaxies retain significant molecular gas reservoirs despite low ongoing star formation rates, challengin…

Shocked POststarburst Galaxy Survey. IV. Outflows in Shocked Post-Starburst Galaxies Are Not Responsible For Quenching

Antoniu Fodor, Taylor Tomko, Mary Braun +13

Shocked POst-starburst Galaxies (SPOGs) exhibit both emission lines suggestive of shock-heated gas and post-starburst-like stellar absorption, resulting in a unique subset for gala…

Measuring the ISM Content of Nearby, Luminous, Type 1 and Type 2 QSOs through CO and [C II]

Yuanze Luo, A. O. Petric, R. M. J. Janssen +18

We present observations of CO(1--0) and CO(2--1) lines from the Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique (IRAM) 30m telescope toward 20 nearby, optically luminous type 2 quasars (…

Pulling back the curtain on shocks and star-formation in NGC 1266 with Gemini-NIFS

Justin Atsushi Otter, Katherine Alatalo, Kate Rowlands +21

We present Gemini near-infrared integral field spectrograph (NIFS) K-band observations of the central 400 pc of NGC 1266, a nearby (D30 Mpc) post-starburst galaxy with a p…

Characterizing the Molecular Gas in Infrared Bright Galaxies with CARMA

Katherine Alatalo, Andreea O. Petric, Lauranne Lanz +20

We present the CO(1-0) maps of 28 infrared-bright galaxies from the Great Observatories All-Sky Luminous Infrared Galaxy Survey (GOALS) taken with the Combined Array for Research i…

The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: An Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution Studies

Tony Wong, Yixian Cao, Yufeng Luo +22

The EDGE-CALIFA survey provides spatially resolved optical integral field unit (IFU) and CO spectroscopy for 125 galaxies selected from the CALIFA Data Release 3 sample. The Extrag…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: how do star-formation histories affect gas-phase abundances?

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Vivienne Wild, Kate Rowlands +2

Gas-phase abundances in galaxies are the products of those galaxies' evolutionary histories. The star-formation history (SFH) of a region might therefore be expected to influence t…
