The 2dF galaxy redshift survey: The local E+A galaxy population

We select a sample of low-redshift (z ∼ 0.1) E+A galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The spectra of these objects are defined by strong hydrogen Balmer absorption lines (Hδ, Hγ, Hβ) combined with a lack of [O II] 3727-Å emission, together implying a recently truncated burst of sta...
