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…

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…

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.…
