Resolved photometry of four high-redshift quiescent galaxies reveals negative color gradients that lower estimated stellar masses by 0.1 dex relative to slit measurements, reducing model tensions under an age-driven interpretation.
Indicators of star formation: 4000 Angstrom break and Balmer lines

abstract
The behaviour of the 4000 Angstrom break index and of the equivalent width of the main Balmer lines is investigated a) for a single star as a function of effective temperature, gravity and metallicity and b) for a single stellar population as a function of age and metallicity. Consequences for the interpretation of integrated spectra are presented.

Different quenching tracers applied to MaNGA galaxies produce varying inside-out versus outside-in fractions, with inside-out rising at higher stellar mass while halo-mass trends are weaker.
Simulations of high-redshift galaxies show the 1719 Å UV index reliably traces stellar metallicity while others are more sensitive to star formation history.
