The Morphologies and Outflow Kinematics of Star Formation Quenching
ABSTRACT: Since z=1 the number of quiescent, non-star forming galaxies in the Universe has roughly doubled. In order to constrain the star formation quenching mechanism, I will present results on the clustering properties, morphologies, and feedback associated with outflowing winds in galaxies at z~0.7 that are having their star formation quenched. I will also briefly present a new survey called PRIMUS, the largest faint galaxy redshift survey taken to date.
