Hi Everyone,

This week's lunch talk will be given by Omar on Thursday at 1pm in A113. Title and abstract are below.

Investigating AGN activity in recently quenched galaxies at cosmic noon

We still do not understand the processes responsible for quenching star formation in massive galaxies, particularly in the distant Universe. AGN feedback is favoured by theoretical models, but so far direct observational evidence is limited. To tackle this problem, I will present a new Chandra X-ray analysis of AGN activity in a large sample of over 500 recently quenched galaxies at cosmic noon (1<z<3). Preliminary results reveal strong links between black hole activity and star formation, but the role of AGN in directly quenching star formation appears to be more subtle than current models predict.
