JWST PRIMER: Post-starburst galaxies dominate the low-mass quiescent galaxy population since z~2

Thomas de Lisle, David T. Maltby, Omar Almaini +10

We present the evolution of the stellar mass functions for photometrically selected star-forming, passive and post-starburst galaxies, based on JWST PRIMER observations of the Ultr…

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…

No hidden monsters: Probing recently-quenched galaxies for obscured AGN with JWST-PRIMER MIRI and NIRCam

Guillaume Hewitt, Omar Almaini, David Maltby +13

We investigate the role of obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in recently quenched post-starburst galaxies (PSBs), using a sample of 65 photometrically selected PSBs in the PRIM…

The multiwavelength structure of post-starburst galaxies at 0.5 < z < 3 with JWST PRIMER: compact morphologies and residual disturbances

David T. Maltby, Omar Almaini, Vivienne Wild +9

We investigate the multi-wavelength structure of recently quenched post-starburst (PSB) galaxies at 0.5 < z < 3, using photometrically selected samples from the Ultra Deep Survey (…

Beyond the Fundamental Metallicity Relation: galaxy sizes encode the link between inflow and metallicity

N. F. Boardman, V. Wild, D. Scholte +3

Gas-phase chemical abundances are key observable consequences of galaxy evolution, being intrinsically tied to galaxy formation histories. Gas metallicity rises with increasing ste…

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…
