First ALMA [CII] observations of high-redshift quiescent galaxies reveal gas fractions from 0.1% to 25%, dust temperatures of 40-50 K, strong [CII] deficits, and merger-like features, suggesting merger-driven quenching with non-stellar dust heating.

A first [CII] view of high-z quiescent galaxies
First ALMA [CII] observations of high-redshift quiescent galaxies reveal gas fractions from 0.1% to 25%, dust temperatures of 40-50 K, strong [CII] deficits, and merger-like features, suggesting merger-driven quenching with non-stellar dust heating.
