The First Galaxies and the Likely Discovery of Their Fossils in the Local Group by Massimo Ricotti

“…It is widely believed that reionization stopped star formation in fossil dwarfs. However, here we dispute this idea and discuss a physical mechanism whereby recent episodes of star formation would be produced in some fossil dwarfs that, hence, may characterized by a bimodal star formation history. …”

BST1047+1156: A (Failing) Ultradiffuse Tidal Dwarf in the Leo I Group by J. Christopher Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Aaron E. Watkins, Stacy S. McGaugh, John Feldmeier

“…While our imaging reaches approximately two magnitudes below the tip of the red giant branch at the Leo I distance of 11 Mpc, we find no evidence for an old red giant sequence that would signal an extended star formation history for the object. Instead, we clearly detect the red and blue helium-burning sequences of its stellar populations, as well as the fainter blue main sequence, all indicative of a recent burst of star formation having taken place over the past 50–250 Myr. …”

Blowing Out the Candle: How to Quench Galaxies at High Redshift—An Ensemble of Rapid Starbursts, AGN Feedback, and Environment by Lucas C. Kimmig, Rhea-Silvia Remus, Benjamin Seidel, Lucas M. Valenzuela, Klaus Dolag, Andreas Burkert

“…We find that these galaxies are quenched through a rapid burst of star formation and subsequent active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback caused by a particularly isotropic collapse of surrounding gas, occurring on timescales of around 200 Myr or shorter. …”

The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Starbursts in Milky Way-mass Galaxies in FIRE Simulations by Fei Li, Mubdi Rahman, Norman Murray, Dušan Kereš, Andrew Wetzel, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère, Philip F. Hopkins, Jorge Moreno

“…Simulations and observations suggest that galaxy interactions may enhance the star formation rate (SFR) in merging galaxies. One proposed mechanism is the torque exerted on the gas and stars in the larger galaxy by the smaller galaxy. …”

Improved SED-fitting Assumptions Result in Inside-out Quenching at z ~ 0.5 and Quenching at All Radii Simultaneously at z ~ 1 by Alexander de la Vega, Susan A. Kassin, Camilla Pacifici, Stéphane Charlot, Emma Curtis-Lake, Jacopo Chevallard, Timothy M. Heckman, Anton M. Koekemoer, Weichen Wang

“…Many studies conclude that galaxies quench from the inside-out by examining profiles of specific star formation rate (sSFR). These are usually measured by fitting spectral energy distributions (SEDs) assuming a fixed dust law and uniform priors on all parameters. …”

Multiepoch Observations of the Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 3938 with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory by Siddhi Raut, Eric M. Schlegel, Thomas G. Pannuti, Brannon W. Jones, Jacobo Matallana

“…The luminosity function of NGC 3938 is compared to a recent compilation of 38 galaxies, and we identify a potentially significant problem with the “known” distance to NGC 3938. Star formation rate and metallicity values are also computed; the star formation rate is highly dependent on the adopted distance. …”
