Cold Gas in a Post-starburst Pair in the z ∼ 1.4 HeavyMetal Survey: Major Mergers as a Pathway to Retain Gas in Quenched Galaxies

Recent observations at low redshift have revealed that some post-starburst galaxies retain significant molecular gas reservoirs despite low ongoing star formation rates, challenging most theoretical predictions that rely on heating or expelling gas reservoirs to shut down star formation. To test whe...
