We compare two cosmological hydrodynamic simulation codes in the context of hierarchical galaxy formation: The SPH code GADGET, and the Eulerian AMR code ENZO. Both codes represent dark matter with the N-body method, but use different…

Magnetic fields play an important role in almost all astrophysical phenomena including star formation. But due to the difficulty in analytic modeling and observation, magnetic fields are still poorly studied and numerical simulation has…
