Figure from Baron et al. (2021), where we used far infrared observations from IRAS to study the star formation properties of post starburst E+A galaxies. This diagram shows the star formation rate (SFR) versus the stellar mass, where empty symbols represent upper limits. It suggests that, contrary to the common belief, Many E+A galaxies are not fully-quenched, with some of them hosting starbursts. ​
In my research, I use multi-wavelength observations to study the star formation properties and AGN properties in post starburst E+A galaxies. I use dedicated observations in optical and mm (KCWI, MUSE, NEOMA, and ALMA) to study the properties of the ionized, neutral, and molecular gas in these systems, and to look for gas outflows.
