A sample of 70 E+A galaxies are selected from 37, 206 galaxies in the second data release (DR2) of Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) according to the criteria for E+A galaxies defined by Goto, and each of…
We select E+A candidates from a spectroscopic dataset of ~800 field galaxies and measure the E+A fraction at 0.3<z<1 to be 2.7+/-1.1%, a value lower than that in galaxy clusters at comparable redshifts (11+/-3%). HST/WFPC2 imaging for five…
[Abridged] Combining HST/WFPC2 mosaics with extensive ground-based spectroscopy, we study the nature of E+A galaxies in three intermediate redshift clusters (z=0.33, 0.58, & 0.83). From a sample of ~500 confirmed cluster members, we isolate…
We search the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Baryon Oscillation Sky Survey to identify ~5500 massive compact quiescent galaxy candidates at 0.2<z<0.8. We robustly classify a subsample of 438 E+A galaxies based on their spectral properties…
We select a sample of low-redshift (z ~ 0.1) E+A galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The spectra of these objects are defined by strong hydrogen Balmer absorption lines (H-delta, H-gamma, H-beta) combined with a lack of…
We present the results of HI line and radio continuum observations of five nearby E+A galaxies. These galaxies have spectra that are dominated by a young stellar component but lack the emission lines characteristic of significant, on-going…
I present near-IR photometry of a selected sample of E+A galaxies observed in the southern hemisphere. The sample includes 50 galaxies from nearby clusters (z ~ 0.05) and distant clusters (z ~ 0.31) as well as E+A galaxies from the field (z…
We use a purely data-driven rectified factor analysis to identify early-type galaxies with recent star formation in DR4 of the SDSS Spectroscopic Catalogue. We compare the spectra and environment of these galaxies with `normal' early-types,…
We present the results of an effort to identify and study a sample of the likely progenitors of elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) K+A galaxies. To achieve this, we have searched a sample ~11,000 nearby (m(r)<16) early-type galaxies…
We present spectroscopic observations of galaxies in the fields of 10 distant clusters for which we have previously presented deep imaging with WFPC2 on board the HST. The clusters span the redshift range z=0.37-0.56 and are the subject of…
E+A galaxies have been interpreted as post-starburst galaxies based on the presence of strong Balmer absorption lines combined with the absence of major emission lines ([OII] nor H$\alpha$). As a population of galaxies in the midst of the…
(Abridged) We present near-IR photometry of a selected sample of southern hemisphere E+A galaxies. The sample includes 50 galaxies from nearby and distant clusters as well as E+A galaxies from the field. The photometry includes J, H and Ks…
We investigate the distribution of companion galaxies around quasars using {\em Hubble Space Telescope} ({\em HST}) Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Camera (ACS/WFC) archival images. Our master sample contains 532 quasars which have…
E+A galaxies are characterized as a galaxy with strong Balmer absorption lines but without any [OII] nor H$\alpha$ emission lines. The existence of strong Balmer absorption lines indicates that E+A galaxies have experienced starburst within…
We investigated the radial colour gradient and two-dimensional (2D) colour properties of 22 E+A galaxies with 5.5 < Hdelta equivalent width(EW) < 8.5\AA and 49 normal early-type galaxies as a control sample at a redshift of <0.2 in the…
We present HST/WFPC2 observations of the five bluest E+A galaxies (z~0.1) in the Zabludoff et al. sample to study whether their detailed morphologies are consistent with late-to-early type evolution and to determine what drives that…
We investigate the structural, kinematical, and spectrophotometric properties of ``E+A'' galaxies -- those with strong Balmer absorption lines but no significant [OII] emission -- using numerical simulations combined with stellar population…
Using EFOSC2 at the 3.6m ESO telescope, we obtained redshifts for 68 galaxies in the field of six cluster candidates from the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS). The cluster candidates were selected in the EIS patches C and D and have estimated mean…
A catalog of 232 apparently interacting galaxy pairs of the M51 class is presented. Catalog members were identified from visual inspection of mult-band images in the IRSA archive. The major findings in the compilation of this catalog are…
Post-starburst galaxies are crucial to disentangling the effect of star formation and quenching on galaxy demographics. They comprise, however, a heterogeneous population of objects, described in numerous ways. To obtain a well-defined and…
