Noun

red geyser (plural red geysers)

  1. (astronomy) A galaxy which has stopped star formation due to the energetic winds spewing forth from the active galactic nucleus, heating and disrupting gas accumulation and collapse to form new stars, resulting in a population of aging reddening stars.[3][4][5][6]
