The evolution of post-starburst galaxies from z=2 to 0.5

We present the evolution in the number density and stellar mass functions of photometrically selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSSUltraDeep Survey,with redshifts of 0.5<z<2 and stellar masses log (M/M�) >10. We find that this transitionary species of galaxy is rare at all redshifts...
