Cosmic Ray Mediated Thermal Fronts in the Warm-Hot Circumgalactic Medium

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Ellen G. Zweibel, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: We investigate the 1D plane-parallel front connecting the warm ($10^4$ K) and hot ($10^6$ K) phases of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), focusing on the influence of cosmic rays (CRs) in shaping these transition layers. We […]

LiNeS: Post-training Layer Scaling Prevents Forgetting and Enhances Model Merging

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Alessandro Favero, Guillermo Ortiz-Jimenez, Francois Fleuret | Summary: Large pre-trained models exhibit impressive zero-shot performance across diverse tasks, but fine-tuning often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where improvements on a target domain degrade generalization on other tasks. To address this challenge, we introduce LiNeS, […]
