Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. II -- Post-merger quenching peaks within 500 Myr of coalescence

Mechanisms for quenching star formation in galaxies remain hotly debated, with galaxy mergers an oft-proposed pathway. In Ellison et al. (2022) we tested this scenario by quantifying the fraction of recently and rapidly quenched post-starbursts (PSBs) in a sample of post-merger galaxies identified i...
