This paper describes the open-source code Enzo, which uses block-structured adaptive mesh refinement to provide high spatial and temporal resolution for modeling astrophysical fluid flows. The code is Cartesian, can be run in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions, and supports a wide variety of physics including hydrodynamics, ideal and non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics, N-body dynamics (and, more broadly, self-gravity of fluids and particles), primordial gas chemistry, optically-thin radiative cooling of primordial and metal-enriched plasmas (as well as some optically-thick cooling models), radiation transport, cosmological expansion, and models for star formation and feedback in a cosmological context. In addition to explaining the algorithms implemented, we present solutions for a wide range of test problems, demonstrate the code's parallel performance, and discuss the Enzo collaboration's code development methodology.

  1. Survival is not Enough: Dust Sputtering, Growth, and H$_2$ Formation in Galactic Winds

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    Entrained clouds form high H2 fractions only with dust growth at densities ≳10–30 times the cloud-survival critical density; without growth, DGR dilution and sputtering keep them atomic.

  2. Smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics for simulations of galaxy and cosmic structure formation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new conservative SPMHD scheme in SWIFT passes standard tests and achieves the first coupling of the EAGLE galaxy formation model to magnetohydrodynamics.

  3. Accretion across scales: streamers, surface-layer transport, and rapid replenishment in young protoplanetary discs

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cloud-fed ideal-MHD zoom-in simulations of nine young stars show discs are replenished on ~10,000-year timescales via surface-layer accretion and can be truncated by massive streamers.

  4. Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In z≈6 quasar simulations, super-Eddington black-hole growth clears escape channels, ejects cold clumps that raise neutral-hydrogen covering, and powers extended Hα nebulae that shrink when the quasar is obscured.

  5. LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey -- LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures -- Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    LEGGOS presents a uniform framework that jointly models lensing, photometry, and integral-field spectroscopy to disentangle stellar populations in clumps of high-redshift lensed galaxies.

  6. 21cmEMUv3: a hybrid diffusion-LSTM emulator of 21cmFAST summary observables

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    21cmEMUv3 emulates the cylindrical 21cm power spectrum via score-based diffusion and six other 21cmFAST observables via LSTM networks at sub-percent accuracy, then uses the emulator to infer a lower limit on soft-band...

  7. Abundant Water from Early Supernovae at Cosmic Dawn

    astro-ph.GA 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cosmological simulations find that dense cores in the remnants of the first supernovae synthesized water with mass fractions up to 10^-4 by redshift z~20.

  8. Cosmological Analysis with Calibrated Neural Quantile Estimation and Approximate Simulators

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Calibrated NQE enables unbiased field-level cosmological inference from 2D density maps by training mostly on approximate PM simulations and calibrating with ~100 PP simulations.

  9. Correcting the hydrostatic mass for non-thermal gas motions: a comparison of two approaches

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The two correction approaches differ in their radial dependence in 3D but agree to within a few percent in projected observations, with the non-thermal pressure fraction underestimated by a factor of about 2.

  10. Forward cascade of large-scale primordial magnetic fields during structure formation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A flux-conservation advection equation reproduces the qualitative forward cascade of primordial magnetic field spectra during structure formation.

  11. The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe through the SKA lenses

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    This review chapter summarizes the cosmic web's theoretical framework, recent radio observations of diffuse gas, and the expected impact of the SKA on detecting baryons in filaments and cluster outskirts.
