Quenching of star formation from a lack of inflowing gas to galaxies

KE Whitaker, CC Williams, L Mowla, JS Spilker, S Toft… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Star formation in half of massive galaxies was quenched by the time the Universe was 3
billion years old. Very low amounts of molecular gas seem to be responsible for this, at least …
