The identities of the main processes triggering and quenching star formation in galaxies remain unclear. A key stage in evolution, however, appears to be represented by post-starburst galaxies. To investigate the prevalence of these galaxies and their impact on galaxy evolution in general, we initiated a multiwavelength study of post-starburst galaxies in the well-studied COSMOS field.
