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…
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…
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…
