Post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies trace the fastest and most dramatic processes in galaxy evolution. Recent work studying the evolution of galaxies through this phase have revealed insights on how galaxies undergo structural and stellar population changes as well as the role of various feedback mechanisms. In this review, I summarize recent work on identifying post-starburst galaxies; tracing the role of this phase through cosmic time; measuring stellar populations, on-going star formation, morphologies, kinematics, interstellar medium properties, and AGN activity; mechanisms to cause the recent starburst and its end; and the future evolution to quiescence (or not). The review concludes with a list of open questions and exciting possibilities for future facilities.

  1. ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx): A Coronal Line Emitter with an Early Light Curve Bump and Mid-Infrared Dust Echo

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The tidal disruption event ATLAS22kjn shows a resolved 9-day pre-peak bump, coronal lines that imply a stable ~1e6 K ionising source, and a dust echo whose covering fraction is much higher than typical TDEs.
