CAS: A Causal Attribution Score for Local and Global Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Michael Georgiades, Charalambia Varnava
Predictive explanation methods attribute a model output; they do not, by themselves, attribute an intervention effect on the real-world outcome. We introduce the Causal Attribution…
A Decade to Map the Diffuse Universe: FRB-QSO Pairs with HST/COS Spectroscopy
Jessica Werk, Matthew McQuinn, J. Xavier Prochaska +16
Jointly analyzing the sightlines of arcsecond-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) and UV-bright quasars (QSOs) nearby in projection has the potential to provide strong constraints o…
Mainly on the Plane: Observing the Extended, Ionized Disks of Milky Way Analogs in IllustrisTNG
Michael Messere, Kirill Tchernyshyov, Mary E. Putman +4
This paper explores the extent to which the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of Milky Way-like galaxies is located in an extended, ionized, disklike structure. To test this hypothesis,…
The Plane Quasar Survey: An Ionized Extension of the Magellanic Stream on the Northern Side of the Galactic Plane
Bo-Eun Choi, Jessica K. Werk, Kirill Tchernyshyov +5
The Magellanic Stream (MS) is a vast gaseous structure in the Milky Way halo, containing most of its mass in ionized form and tracing the interaction between the Large and Small Ma…
An Ultraviolet Study of CO Chemistry in the Magellanic Clouds
Kirill Tchernyshyov, Jessica K. Werk, Julia Roman-Duval
How does molecular cloud chemistry change with metallicity? In this work, we study the relation between molecular hydrogen () and carbon monoxide (CO) at and solar…
Photometric Mapping of Carbonaceous/Siliceous Dust and Water Ice in the ISM with JWST: Applications to the Dense Sightlines
Burcu Günay, Karl D. Gordon, Joshua E. G. Peek +4
We introduce a new photometric mapping method for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to measure the spatial distribution of carbonaceous dust, siliceous dust and water ice by us…
