Theoretical models of massive galaxy formation predict that feedback from AGN and/or supernovae plays a crucial role in quenching star formation during major galaxy mergers. Efficient quenching is required to match the observed properties of early-type galaxies, including the colors of local massive ellipticals and the spectral features of ultra-compact high-redshift spheroids. However, current observational evidence provides only indirect constraints on the quenching mechanism that causes galaxies to migrate from the blue cloud to the red sequence. In order to test feedback models of elliptical galaxy formation, we select a unique sample of extremely young, massive post-starburst galaxies at 0.4
