Summary
This study tries to constrain the quenching timescales of galaxies in local cluster environments by combining a cosmological simulation data (YZiCS) with an SDSS cluster catalog through the phase-space analysis. The star formation history for the sample galaxies are constrained by using abundance matching between the time since infall distribution and the star formation rate distribution of the galaxies The following are our main results on the constrained quenching timescales. (i) Part of the quenching takes place outside clusters by consuming cold gas with the e-folding timescale of 3 Gyr with a strong inverse mass dependence. (ii) The pace of quenching is maintained roughly for 2 Gyr ("delay time") during the first crossing time into the cluster. (iii) Quenching becomes more dramatic (e-folding timescale of roughly 1 Gyr) after delay time, probably because ram pressure stripping is strongest near the cluster center. Counterintuitively, more massive galaxies show shorter quenching timescales mainly because they enter their clusters with lower gas fractions due to ex-situ quenching in the first place.
