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 $M_\unicode{x25CF}\unicode{x2013}Ï_0$ 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…

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…
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…
