The processes that rapidly quench massive galaxies and maintain their quiescence remain poorly understood. Substantial molecular gas reservoirs can survive this shutdown in post-starburst galaxies, raising the question of what prevents the remaining gas from efficiently forming stars. We present deep, subarcsecond VLA...

The discovery of a population of massive, ancient quiescent galaxies within the first 2 Gyr of the Universe’s history has led to significant tensions with models of galaxy formation. However, these analyses are often based on slit spectroscopy, which typically captures only the centermost region of these galaxies and,...

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 selection methods select against optical AGN, motivating searches for"post-starburst quasars."We present DESI observations of ten post-star...

The recent JWST discovery of a numerous population of broad-line emitters (BLEs) at $z>4$ has reopened the question of whether sources other than faint galaxies contributed significantly to cosmic reionization. To assess this contribution, we present a systematic census of compact, blue broad-line emitters at $4\leq z\...

One of the fundamental uncertainties in the study of galaxies at the interface between star formation and quiescence--post-starburst galaxies--is their instantaneous star formation rate. While these galaxies appear quiescent in the rest UV-optical, many of the youngest systems are highly CO luminous, implying dense mol...
