Quenching time-scales of galaxies in the eagle simulations
Quenching time-scales of galaxies in the eagle simulations
We use the eagle simulations to study the connection between the quenching time-scale, τQ, and the physical mechanisms that transform star-forming galaxies into passive galaxies. By quantifying τQ in two complementary ways – as the time over which (i) galaxies traverse the green valley on the colour–mass diagram, or (ii) …
