Who are we?
Who are we?
We are a group of researchers studying E+A galaxies, a type of post-starburst galaxy that we believe holds the key to understanding the transition from star-forming galaxies to quiescent galaxies. The collaboration members range from high school to graduate-level students, all working under the direction and mentorship of Dr. Charles Liu, an Associate with the Department of Astrophysics and Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History.
