The origin and fate of post-starburst galaxies : morphological and structural image analysis of local galaxies with recent episodes of enhanced star formation

Post-starburst galaxies are a rare class of objects with unusual spectroscopic characteristics. Previous studies have shown that the presence of strong Balmer absorption lines in the spectra of these galaxies are consistent with a recent bust of star formation; however, the cause of such events rema...
