Post-starburst Galaxies in SDSS-IV MaNGA: Two Broad Categories of Evolutionary Pathways

We study the size–mass relation (SMR) and recent star formation history (SFH) of post-starburst (PSB) galaxies in the local Universe using spatially resolved spectroscopy from the final data release of MaNGA. Our sample includes 489 PSB galaxies: 94 cPSB galaxies with central PSB regions, 85 rPSB ga...
