Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids (2018)
Working Paper
Almaini, O., Wild, V., Maltby, D. T., Hartley, W. G., Simpson, C., Hatch, N. A., …Rowlands, K. Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids

We investigate the relationship between the quenching of star formation and the structural transformation of massive galaxies, using a large sample of photometrically-selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSS UDS field. We find that post-starbur... Read More about Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids.

We investigate the prevalence of AGN in the high-redshift protocluster Cl 0218.3–0510 at z = 1.62. Using imaging from the Chandra X-ray Telescope, we find a large overdensity of AGN in the protocluster; a factor of 23±9 times the field density of AGN...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 459(1), Article L114-L118. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slw057

Despite decades of study, we still do not fully understand why some massive galaxies abruptly switch off their star formation in the early Universe, and what causes their rapid transition to the red sequence. Post-starburst galaxies provide a rare op... Read More about The identification of post-starburst galaxies at z?1 using multiwavelength photometry: a spectroscopic verification.
