Causes of Hot Jupiter Inflation from Causal Discovery
Zehao Jin, Mohamad Ali-Dib, Yujia Zheng +3
Hot Jupiters often have radii larger than predicted by standard cooling--contraction models, but it remains unclear which process supplies or preserves the extra internal heat. We…
Causal Reversal in the $M_\unicode{x25CF}\unicode{x2013}σ_0$ Relation: Implications for High-Redshift Supermassive Black Hole Mass Estimates
Benjamin L. Davis, Saakshi More, Zehao Jin +3
The nascent methodology of applying the principles of causal discovery to astrophysical data has produced affirming results about deeply held theories concerning the causal nature…
Causal evidence for the primordiality of colours in trans-Neptunian objects
Benjamin L. Davis, Mohamad Ali-Dib, Yujia Zheng +3
The origins of the colours of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) represent a crucial unresolved question, central to understanding the history of our Solar System. Recent observational…

Benjamin L. Davis, Mohamad Ali-Dib, Yujia Zheng +3
The origins of the colors of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) represent a crucial unresolved question, central to understanding the history of our Solar System. Recent observational…
Where Have All the Little Red Dots Gone? Supermassive Black Hole Binary Dynamics and its Impact on Galaxy Properties
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Benjamin L. Davis, Andrea Valerio Macciò +1
Recent James Webb Space Telescope observations have revealed a peculiar class of galaxies at redshifts , characterized by extremely high central stellar densities and…
Beyond Causal Discovery for Astronomy: Learning Meaningful Representations with Independent Component Analysis
Zehao Jin, Mario Pasquato, Benjamin L. Davis +2
We present the first steps toward applying causal representation learning to astronomy. Following up on previous work that introduced causal discovery to the field for the first ti…
Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution
Zehao Jin, Mario Pasquato, Benjamin L. Davis +9
Correlation does not imply causation, but patterns of statistical association between variables can be exploited to infer a causal structure (even with purely observational data) w…
Identification of Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidates Among a Sample of Sd Galaxies
Benjamin L. Davis, Alister W. Graham, Roberto Soria +4
We analyzed images of every northern hemisphere Sd galaxy listed in the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (RC3) with a relatively face-on inclination (). Speci…
HELLO project: High- Evolution of Large and Luminous Objects
Stefan Waterval, Andrea V. Macciò, Tobias Buck +6
We present the High- Evolution of Large and Luminous Objects (HELLO) project, a set of high-resolution cosmological simulations aimed to study Milky Way analogues ($M…
Causa prima: cosmology meets causal discovery for the first time
Mario Pasquato, Zehao Jin, Pablo Lemos +2
In astrophysics, experiments are impossible. We thus must rely exclusively on observational data. Other observational sciences increasingly leverage causal inference methods, but t…
Discovering Black Hole Mass Scaling Relations with Symbolic Regression
Zehao Jin, Benjamin L. Davis
Our knowledge of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their relation to their host galaxies is still limited, and there are only around 150 SMBHs that have their masses directly me…
