The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This paper tries to establish how much an active galactic nucleus contaminates the six non-parametric morphological measurements used to classify galaxies, and where the practical limits lie when observing galaxies out to $z\sim2$ in a deep survey like COSMOS. It simulates adding an AGN point source contributing 5% to 75% of the total light to thousands of local galaxies with known visual morphology, then moves them to the magnitudes and redshifts of COSMOS. The central finding is that the concentration parameters change significantly when the AGN contributes more than 25% and the galaxy is fainter than $F814W\sim23$, and that the Gini coefficient is the most stable parameter throughout, followed by M20, CCON, and CABR. If true, this gives survey designers and morphology users a degradation map: which parameters and diagram combinations can be trusted, up to which depth and AGN fraction.

What carries the argument

The central machinery is a simulation pipeline that takes 2251 local non-AGN galaxies with visual T-type classifications, injects a PSF-convolved AGN point source contributing 5% to 75% of total flux at the galaxy centre, rescales the images to match the magnitude and redshift distributions of five COSMOS F814W-limited samples ($F814W<21$, $22$, $23$, $24$, $25$), and drops them into real COSMOS background images to reproduce depth and resolution. The six parameters are measured with the galSVM code, and the effect is quantified by the variance statistic $\mathrm{Var}[\%]$, the average absolute relative change per galaxy, with a change of $\ge 20\%$ taken as significant.

What would settle it

Measure the same six parameters on real, well-resolved AGN host galaxies at $z\sim1$--$2$ with independently known AGN fractions (for example from spectral decomposition or X-ray luminosity) and check whether the Gini coefficient stays below 20% variance for AGN fractions up to 75% and whether the concentration parameters cross the 20% threshold at AGN fraction about 25% and magnitude about 23.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper argues that when an unresolved AGN contributes more than 25% of a galaxy's total light and the galaxy is observed at $F814W>23$ ($z>1$), the four commonly used concentration parameters---CABR, CCON, GINI, and M20---shift by more than 20% relative to the uncontaminated local values. Among these, the Gini coefficient is the most stable under both AGN contamination and magnitude/redshift degradation, followed by M20, then CCON, then CABR, the last being the most sensitive to central light. The paper also claims that the most reliable two-dimensional diagnostics for classifying active galaxies at high redshift are the CABR-versus-CCON and CABR-versus-ASYM diagrams, while GINI-versus-M20 fails to separate morphological types under these conditions.

Load-bearing premise

The results assume that local $z\sim0$ galaxies are faithful structural templates for galaxies at $z\sim2$, so the intrinsic light distribution of high-redshift galaxies does not evolve in ways the simulation does not include.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Survey users should treat morphology measurements of AGN hosts at $F814W>23$ with AGN fraction above 25% as unreliable, especially for spiral galaxies.
  • The Gini coefficient can be used up to $z\sim2$ with low variance even at high AGN fractions, making it a suitable primary classifier for active galaxies in deep fields.
  • CABR versus CCON and CABR versus ASYM diagrams separate early- and late-type galaxies up to $F814W<22$ and AGN fractions of 25% or less, while GINI versus M20 is not recommended for active galaxies.
  • The AGN effect dominates the magnitude/redshift effect when the AGN contributes at least 50% of the light, so nuclear contamination sets the practical depth limit for morphology measurements.
  • Late spirals are the most affected morphological class, so high-redshift studies of star-forming AGN hosts need extra caution when interpreting morphological parameters.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The local-template assumption implies the derived thresholds give a conservative picture if real $z\sim2$ galaxies are intrinsically clumpier or more irregular than local galaxies; in that case, the magnitude where parameters change could be brighter than $F814W\sim23$.
  • The stability ranking suggests a practical selection strategy for deep surveys: use GINI as the primary parameter, M20 as a secondary check, and avoid SMOOTH entirely because it is measurable for only a small fraction of sources.
  • The variance metric is an average absolute relative change, which can overstate instability for parameters with values near zero, so testing ASYM and SMOOTH with an absolute-difference or signal-to-noise-based metric could change their ranking.
  • Running the same simulation on JWST/NIRCam images rather than HST/ACS F814W would test whether the 25% and $F814W\sim23$ thresholds hold at longer wavelengths and higher resolution, where high-redshift morphology is now routinely measured.

Referee Report

4 major / 6 minor

Summary. This paper presents a simulation study of how unresolved AGN light affects six non-parametric morphological parameters (CABR, GINI, CCON, M20, ASYM, SMOOTH) for galaxies observed in conditions mimicking the COSMOS survey up to z~2. Starting from 2251 local non-AGN SDSS galaxies with visual morphological classifications, the authors add AGN point sources contributing 5-75% of total flux, redshift and dim the galaxies to five magnitude/redshift limits matching COSMOS, insert them into real COSMOS backgrounds, and measure the parameters with galSVM. Changes are quantified by a mean absolute relative deviation (called variance) with a 20% significance threshold. The main results are that combined magnitude/redshift/AGN effects have the largest impact; spiral galaxies are more affected than early types; GINI is the most stable parameter, followed by M20, CCON and CABR; significant changes in concentration parameters typically occur for AGN contributions above 25% and magnitudes above 23; and the CABR-CCON and CABR-ASYM diagrams are the most effective for classifying AGN hosts.

Significance. If the results are correct, the paper would give survey users a quantitative guide to which morphological parameters and diagram combinations can be trusted under AGN contamination and survey depth/resolution effects up to z~2. The experimental design is a strength: the simulations are described carefully, with rest-frame band matching to reduce K-correction effects, real COSMOS backgrounds for noise, and a full grid of five magnitude/redshift limits and five AGN fractions. The ranking of parameter stability is a useful, falsifiable output. However, the significance is conditional on the fidelity of the simulations to real COSMOS observations; the PSF calibration and the use of purely local structural templates are the main uncertainties. The paper also overstates the universality of its 'all concentration parameters' conclusion, since GINI remains stable for early-type galaxies in the authors' own measurements.

major comments (4)
  1. [Section 3.1 and 3.2] The simulations are labeled 'COSMOS-like,' but the galaxies are convolved with 'their point spread function (PSF) obtained from the SDSS survey' (Section 3.1), and the AGN is modeled with an SDSS Moffat PSF (Section 3.2). The target data are HST/ACS F814W images with a PSF of about 0.09 arcsec FWHM, whereas the SDSS PSF is about 1.4 arcsec FWHM. After rebinning to 0.03 arcsec/pix, convolving with the SDSS PSF leaves the simulated images at ground-based seeing rather than HST resolution. Because all six parameters are non-parametric light-distribution measures, the reported thresholds (AGN contribution >25%, mag>23) and the stability ranking (GINI > M20 > CCON > CABR) are sensitive to PSF size; a broad PSF smears the unresolved AGN and dilutes the central light excess, potentially miscalibrating the AGN effect and shifting the magnitude boundary. The authors should either re-run the simulations with the appropriate ACS PSF or demonstrate quantitatively that the conclusions are unchanged with a narrower PSF; otherwise, the external claim of 'COSMOS-like conditions' is not supported.
  2. [Section 3.1 and Section 5] The only structural templates are local z~0 galaxies, randomly scaled in brightness to match the COSMOS magnitude and redshift distributions (Section 3.1). This assumes no evolution in the intrinsic light distribution of galaxies: no compactness evolution, no clumpy star-forming structures, and no increasing irregularity fraction. The paper does not validate this assumption against observed high-redshift galaxies. If real z~2 galaxies are structurally different, the per-parameter variances and the thresholds would shift in actual COSMOS data. The authors should add a validation test using observed high-redshift galaxies (e.g., from COSMOS or CANDELS) or clearly restrict the conclusions to 'local templates observed at higher redshift' and temper the claims about COSMOS-like conditions at z~2.
  3. [Abstract and Section 6] The statement in Section 6 that 'all four concentration parameters will undergo significant changes of >20% for >25% of the added AGN' and the abstract's 'all the concentration parameters change significantly if the AGN contribution is >25%' are contradicted by the authors' own measurements for GINI in early-type galaxies. Appendix A2 shows Var<20% for GINI in early types at all magnitude limits even at 75% AGN, and Section 4.3 states GINI shows 'variance of <20% in almost all cases, regardless of morphological type.' The universal claim should be qualified by morphological type and parameter, or the threshold should be revised; as written, this is an internal inconsistency in the paper's central claim.
  4. [Section 4.1, Eq. (1)] The variance values in Eq. (1) are point estimates of mean absolute relative deviation, but the paper provides no uncertainties (e.g., bootstrap or jackknife) for these values or for the derived parameter ranking. The ranking GINI > M20 > CCON > CABR is based on point estimates; in the total sample at 25% AGN, CABR (42%) and GINI (41%) are nearly identical (Appendices A1 and A2), so the ordering is not clearly significant without error bars. The authors should provide confidence intervals or a significance test for the ranking and for the 20% threshold crossings, or at least demonstrate that the ordering is stable across subsets and bootstrap resamples.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Abstract] The phrase 'moved all the galaxies to lower magnitudes (higher redshifts)' should be 'fainter magnitudes (higher redshifts)' to avoid confusion with the magnitude scale.
  2. [Figure 4 caption] The caption contains the typo 'mag_hzmag_hz < 24'; it should read 'mag_hz < 24'.
  3. [References] Reference [60] is cited as the source for the AB magnitude system, but the AB system is defined by Oke and Gunn (1983); Parekh et al. (2015) is not the standard reference for this definition.
  4. [Eq. (1)] The quantity in Eq. (1) is called 'variance' but is actually a mean absolute relative deviation; consider renaming it to avoid confusion with the statistical variance.
  5. [Section 4.1] In the CABR bullet, the sentence 'the variance in the parameter is significant in all magnitude and redshift conditions when the contribution of the AGN is equal to or larger than 25%, 50%, and 75%, respectively' is ambiguous; please specify which morphological types correspond to which threshold.
  6. [Header] The received/revised dates contain the typo '22 July 202'; it should be '22 July 2025'.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 2.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the stability ranking and variance thresholds are measured outputs of a controlled simulation, not quantities fitted from or defined by the inputs.

full rationale

I walked the claimed derivation chain and found no step in which a predicted result reduces by construction to an input. The six morphological parameters (CABR, GINI, CCON, M20, ASYM, SMOOTH) are standard external definitions, and the paper measures them on images that were generated by scaling local galaxies in brightness, adding unresolved AGN contributions, and dropping the result into real COSMOS backgrounds. The headline quantities — the variance values, the "AGN > 25% and magnitude > 23" thresholds, and the ranking GINI > M20 > CCON > CABR — are emergent outputs of the variance statistic in Eq. 1, not fitted parameters or predetermined labels. No parameter is fit to a subset of data and then renamed a prediction. The paper does rely on the authors' previous works [37,38] for the local sample, parameter definitions, the z~0 baseline, and the methodological framework, and on [31] for the galSVM code; however, these are the experimental apparatus rather than the conclusion. The high-redshift variance measurements are newly computed in this paper, and the z~2 ranking is not imported from [38]. The most serious caveat is external validity, not circularity: Section 3.1 states that the simulated galaxies were "convolved with their point spread function (PSF) obtained from the SDSS survey," whereas the advertised COSMOS-like conditions correspond to HST/ACS F814W imaging; if the SDSS PSF was not replaced by the ACS PSF, the resolution of the simulated images may not match the real COSMOS survey, which would affect the numerical thresholds and ranking. Similarly, the use of z~0 galaxies as structural templates assumes limited morphological evolution to z~2. Both issues concern whether the simulation faithfully represents COSMOS, not whether the derivation is circular. I therefore find no significant circularity, with the score reflecting only the paper's heavy but non-load-bearing reliance on the authors' prior work.

The central claim rests on three hand-chosen design quantities (AGN fraction grid, magnitude limits, significance threshold), on standard domain assumptions (local templates for high-z structure, visual T-types as ground truth, BPT selection of non-AGN, Moffat PSF for the AGN), and on the stated cosmology. None of these are fitted to the target result, so the circularity burden stays low, but the quantitative thresholds should be read as conditional on this specific simulation design.

free parameters (3)
  • AGN fraction grid = 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% of total flux
    Hand-chosen grid of AGN contributions intended to cover type-1 and type-2 AGN, justified by literature values (5-80% locally, [70]; 20-70% at z>4, [71]). Not fitted, but the central threshold claim "significant above 25%" is only as fine as this grid spacing.
  • Magnitude/redshift limits = F814W <= 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
    Five hand-chosen cuts to map COSMOS-like conditions. The claim "significant effects at magnitude > 23" is a direct function of this grid, so the threshold is quantized to the grid points.
  • Significance threshold = Var >= 20%
    Threshold adopted from prior works [38,53] to declare a parameter "significantly affected". This scalar underlies all qualitative statements about where parameters break.
assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption Local z~0 galaxies, resampled to COSMOS resolution and depth, are representative templates for z~2 galaxies
    Section 3.1: galaxies are flux-scaled and re-sampled to simulate high redshift. No validation against a real high-z sample; if intrinsic structure evolves, the quantitative thresholds shift.
  • standard math Standard flat LCDM cosmology (Omega_L=0.7, Omega_M=0.3, H0=70)
    Stated in the Introduction; used only for distance and scale conversions.
  • domain assumption Nair and Abraham (2010) visual T-types are ground truth for morphology
    The local sample classification is taken from this catalog (Section 2); errors in visual classification propagate to all type-dependent claims.
  • domain assumption BPT-NII diagnostics correctly identify non-AGN galaxies
    Section 2: galaxies selected as non-AGN using BPT-NII from MPA-JHU SDSS DR7. AGN contamination in the "non-active" baseline would bias all comparisons.
  • domain assumption An unresolved Moffat PSF point source adequately models an AGN
    Section 3.2: AGN simulated by adding a PSF-convolved point source using the Moffat function. Real AGN have extended narrow-line regions, jets, and host dust attenuation, which could change the measured parameter response.

The presence of Active Galaxy Nuclei (AGN) can affect the morphological classification of galaxies. This work aims to determine how the contribution of AGN affects the most used morphological parameters down to the redshift of z~2 in COSMOS-like conditions. We use a sample of > 2000 local non-active galaxies, with a well-known visual morphological classification, and add an AGN as an unresolved component that contributes to the total galaxy flux with 5%-75%. We moved all the galaxies to lower magnitudes (higher redshifts) to map the conditions in the COSMOS field, and we measured six morphological parameters. The greatest impact on morphology occurs when considering the combined effect of magnitude, redshift and AGN, with spiral galaxies being the most affected. In general, all the concentration parameters change significantly if the AGN contribution is > 25% and the magnitude > 23. We find that the GINI coefficient is the most stable in terms of AGN and magnitude/redshift, followed by the M20, Conselice-Bershady (CCON), and finally the Abraham (CABR) concentration indexes. We find that, when using morphological parameters, the combination of CABR, CCON and asymmetry is the most effective in classifying active galaxies at high-redshift, followed by the combination of CABR and GINI.
