Astrophysical Journal Letters, 844(1), Article L10. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aa7cf2

The identification of high-redshift, massive galaxies with old stellar populations may pose challenges to some models of galaxy formation. However, to securely classify a galaxy as quiescent, it is necessary to exclude significant ongoing star format...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 466(4), 4917-4927. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx045

We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galaxies decreases strongly as a function of galaxy group size (halo mass)...
