Abstract

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) have quenched (significant decline in star formation rate) both recently and rapidly (≲Gyr). They are thus promising in providing insights into activities that are happening at the early stage of quenching. While studies have suggested that black hole feedback in the form of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and outflows play important roles in quenching, the details of how they impact the host galaxies and their interplay with other quenching mechanisms are still not fully understood. We find that PSBs commonly show signatures of AGN activity but they appear to be weak and/or heavily obscured. These AGN might be able to drive outflows but they are likely not strong enough to remove gas from the host galaxy. Direct evidence of AGN quenching the star formation of the host galaxy is still missing and AGN likely quench by disturbing rather than expelling the gas.
