星爆后（或“E+A”）星系追踪了星系演化中最快和最戏剧性的过程。最近通过这一阶段研究星系演化的工作揭示了星系如何经历结构和恒星人口变化以及各种反馈机制的作用。在这篇综述中，我总结了最近在识别星爆后星系方面的工作；通过宇宙时间追踪这一阶段的作用；测量恒星群、正在进行的恒星形成、形态、运动学、星际介质特性和活跃的星系核活动；最近星暴的成因和结束机制；而未来进化到静止（或不）。该评论总结了一系列悬而未决的问题和未来设施令人兴奋的可能性。
Post-starburst (or “E+A”) galaxies trace the fastest and most dramatic processes in galaxy evolution. Recent work studying the evolution of galaxies through this phase has revealed insights on how galaxies undergo structural and stellar population changes as well as the role of various feedback mechanisms. In this review, I summarize recent work on identifying post-starburst galaxies; tracing the role of this phase through cosmic time; measuring stellar populations, on-going star formation, morphologies, kinematics, interstellar medium properties, and active galactic nucleus activity; mechanisms to cause the recent starburst and its end; and the future evolution to quiescence (or not). The review concludes with a list of open questions and exciting possibilities for future facilities.
