Post-starburst galaxies, or E+A galaxies, are characterized by optical spectra showing strong Balmer absorption lines, indicating a young stellar population, and little or no emission lines, implying no active star formation. These galaxies…
E+A galaxies are post-starburst systems that are identified from their optical spectra. These galaxies contain a substantial young A-type stellar component, but have only little ongoing star formation (SF). HI 21-cm line emission is found…
We present deep single-dish HI observations of a sample of six nearby E+A galaxies (0.05<z<0.1). A non-negligible fraction of a local sample of E+As are detected in HI. In four galaxies, we have detected up to a few times 10^9 Msun 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…
We present high spatial resolution 21cm HI observations of EA01A and EA01B, a pair of interacting post-starburst, or E+A, galaxies at z = 0.0746. Based on optical HST/WFPC2 images, both galaxies are known to display disturbed morphologies.…
We present three dimensional spectroscopy of eleven E+A galaxies, selected for their strong H-delta absorption but weak (or non-existent) [OII]3727 and H-alpha emission. This selection suggests that a recent burst of star-formation was…
E+A galaxies are characterized as a galaxy with strong Balmer absorption lines but without any [OII] or Halpha emission lines. Strong Balmer absorption lines indicate that E+A galaxies have experienced a starburst within the last <1-1.5…
E+A galaxies are galaxies with strong Balmer absorption lines and with no significant emission in [OII] or H$\alpha$ lines. The existence of strong Balmer absorption lines shows that these galaxies have experienced a starburst within the…
Post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies are characterized by low H$\alpha$ emission and strong Balmer absorption, suggesting a recent starburst, but little current star formation. Although many of these galaxies show evidence of recent mergers,…

Post-starburst galaxies are believed to be in a rapid transition between major merger starbursts and quiescent ellipticals. Their optical spectrum is dominated by A-type stars, suggesting a starburst that was quenched recently. While…
We have performed a two-dimensional spectroscopy of three nearby E+A (post-starburst) galaxies with the Kyoto3DII integral field spectrograph. In all the cases, Hdelta absorption is stronger at the centre of the galaxies, but significantly…
HST ACS images reveal blue cores in four E+A, or post-starburst, galaxies. Follow-up spectroscopy shows that these cores have LINER spectra. The existence of LINERs, consistent with those in many elliptical galaxies, is yet one more piece…
As a first step toward constraining the efficiency of the star formation episodes that lead to elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) K+A galaxies, a survey for HI within a sample of E and S0 K+A galaxies and their likely progenitors (i.e.,…
Post-starburst, or E+A galaxies, are the best candidates for galaxies in transition from being gas-rich and star-forming to gas-poor and passively-evolving via galaxy-galaxy mergers. To determine what E+A galaxies become after their young…

The traditional picture of post-starburst galaxies as dust- and gas-poor merger remnants, rapidly transitioning to quiescence, has been recently challenged. Unexpected detections of a significant ISM in many post-starbursts raise important…
We have developed an automated cross-correlation technique to detect 21cm emission in sample spectra obtained from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey. The initial sample selection was the nearest spectra to 2435 low surface brightness galaxies in…
We analyse the optical spectral properties of the complete sample of Very Luminous Infrared Galaxies presented by Wu et al. (1998a,b) and we find a high fraction (~50 %) of spectra showing both a strong H_delta line in absorption and…
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…
