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.

CO(1-0) observations of three BGGs at z~0.3 yield one detection with M_H2 ~3e10 solar masses and two upper limits below 1e10, implying depletion timescales of 0.5-1.5 Gyr and possible early gas exhaustion in group environments.
