The Fate of the Interstellar Medium in Early-type Galaxies. II. Observational Evidence for Morphological Quenching

The mechanism by which galaxies stop forming stars and get rid of their interstellar medium (ISM) remains elusive. Here, we study a sample of more than two thousand elliptical galaxies in which dust emission has been detected. This is the largest sample of such galaxies ever analysed. We infer the t...
