2 What do we mean by... Ageing, quenching and rejuvenation...

3 What do we mean by... EVO Ageing, quenching and rejuvenation... LUT I ON

4 What do we mean by... EVO Ageing, quenching and rejuvenation... RED SEQUENCE LUT I ON green valley your favourite color BLUE CLOUD your favourite mass/luminosity indicator

5 What do we mean by... EVO Ageing, quenching and rejuvenation... RED SEQUENCE LUT I ON green valley your favourite color BLUE CLOUD Peng et al FAST - QUENCHING - NATURE? NURTURE? BLUE CLOUD green valley RED SEQUENCE your favourite mass/luminosity indicator

6 What do we mean by... EVO Ageing, quenching and rejuvenation... RED SEQUENCE LUT I ON green valley your favourite color BLUE CLOUD Peng et al FAST - QUENCHING - NATURE? NURTURE? BLUE CLOUD your favourite mass/luminosity indicator green valley RED SEQUENCE Schawinski et al Morphology is a KEY aspect - ET galaxies evolve fast merger nurture - LT galaxies evolve slowly? nature NO BIMODALITY

7 How did we approach EVOLUTION...

8 How did we approach EVOLUTION... Uffff mass metallicity luminosity age star-formation stellar-to-gas fraction

9 How did we approach EVOLUTION... Uffff mass metallicity luminosity age star-formation stellar-to-gas fraction We focus on the SSFR Casado et al We use proxies accepted - arxiv: Mr, 03N2 R1/R2, R5/ȓ Morphology H (EW), (u-r) color

20 What do we mean by NATURE The definition of age is something a bit odd... mass-weighted average age

21 Ha(EW) Ageing... (u-r) color

22 107 yr Ha(EW) Ageing... (u-r) color yr TWO PROXIES FOR THE SSFR BUT WITH DIFFERENT TIME SCALES

23 Ha(EW) Quenching (+ageing) (u-r) color

24 Rejuvenation Ha(EW) (+quenching + ageing) (u-r) color

25 Ha(EW) (u-r) color

26 Ha(EW) (u-r) color

27 Ha(EW) (u-r) color

28 Ha(EW) FA SL OW ER ER ST (u-r) color

29 Conclusions (on average) - nature is the main driving mechanism interactions, mergers DO HAPPEN, but are not statistically significant Casado et al accepted - arxiv:
