The Fate of the Interstellar Medium in Early-type Galaxies. III. The Mechanism of Interstellar Medium Removal and the Quenching of Star Formation

Understanding how galaxies quench their star formation is crucial for studies of galaxy evolution. Quenching is related to a decrease of cold gas. In the first paper we showed that the dust removal timescale in early-type galaxies (ETGs) is about 2.5 Gyr. Here we present carbon monoxide and 21 cm hy...
