Description
This project dealt with restricting the birth rate of stars in post-starburst galaxies. Post-starburst galaxies are transitioning between young and old galaxies. They have different markers for identifying recent starburst like balmer absorption and nebular emmissions. Here we used Type II supernovae because they result from relatively young stars. This was important in further refining the star birthrate of port-starburst galaxies. We cross matched datasets from the Sloan Digital SKy Survey poststarburst galaxies identified by Alatalo(2016) and Goto(2007) with Type II supernovae from the Zwicky Bright Transient Facility. We found star formation of about 0.06 solar masses per cubic megaparsec per year.
