Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

The first generation of stars, often called Population III (or Pop III), form from metal-free
primordial gas at redshifts z∼ 30 and below. They dominate the cosmic star-formation …

Galaxy formation is at the heart of our understanding of cosmic evolution. Although there is a
consensus that galaxies emerged from the expanding matter background by gravitational …

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 …

We present the grackle chemistry and cooling library for astrophysical simulations and
models. grackle provides a treatment of non-equilibrium primordial chemistry and cooling for …

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), with masses in the range 1 0 0–1 0 6 M⊙, are the
link between stellar-mass BHs and supermassive BHs (SMBHs). They are thought to be the …

The oldest, most metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo and satellite dwarf galaxies present an
opportunity to explore the chemical and physical conditions of the earliest star-forming …

We perform a large set of radiation hydrodynamic simulations of primordial star formation in
a fully cosmological context. Our statistical sample of 100 First Stars shows that the first …

The analysis of complex multiphysics astrophysical simulations presents a unique and
rapidly growing set of challenges: reproducibility, parallelization, and vast increases in data …

We discuss a new algorithm to generate multi-scale initial conditions with multiple levels of
refinements for cosmological 'zoom-in'simulations. The method uses an adaptive …
