Merger Signatures are Common, but not Universal, in Massive, Recently Quenched Galaxies at z ∼ 0.7

Merger Signatures are Common, but not Universal, in Massive, Recently Quenched Galaxies at z ∼ 0.7

We present visual classifications of merger-induced tidal disturbances in 143 M _* ∼ 10 ^11 M _⊙ post-starburst galaxies at z ∼ 0.7 identified in the $\mathrm{SQuIGG}\vec{L}{\rm{E}}$ Sample. This sample spectroscopically selects galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that have stopped their prim...
