Abstract
We investigate how star formation quenching proceeds within central and
satellite galaxies using spatially resolved spectroscopy from the SDSS-IV MaNGA
DR15. We adopt a complete sample of star formation rate surface densities
(inside-out' quenching. On the other hand, environmental quenching occurs at over-densities of 10 - 30 times the average galaxy density at z$\sim$0.1, and is marked by steeply declining $\Delta \Sigma_{\rm SFR}$ profiles, indicating
outside-in' quenching. Finally,
through an analysis of stellar metallicities, we conclude that both intrinsic
and environmental quenching must incorporate significant starvation of gas
supply.
