Abstract:
Dust and cold interstellar medium (ISM) play crucial role in galaxy evolution. In particular, dust removal processes are tightly connected to quenching star formation (SF). For a deeper understanding of the large-scale interrelation between dust availability and physical properties, we worked with around 18 000 early-type galaxies (ETGs). Combining multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution modeling with Herschel-based dust classification, we obtained a great laboratory to study SF quenching, dust depletion and their influence on physical properties of ETGs. During the talk I will mention some of the results that we obtained in this field.
