Physics of the Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive and richly illustrated textbook on the astrophysics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium is presented, including the gas and dust, as well as the electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, and magnetic and gravitational fields, present between the stars in a galaxy and also between galaxies themselves.

What Shapes the Luminosity Function of Galaxies
Andrew J. Benson,Richard G. Bower,Carlos S. Frenk,Cedric G. Lacey,Carlton M. Baugh,Shaun Cole +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function of galaxies in hierarchical clustering models and demonstrate that while feedback of form 1 is able to flatten the faint end of the galaxy luminosity, this process alone does not produce the sharp cutoff observed at large luminosities.

TL;DR: Enzo as discussed by the authors uses block-structured adaptive mesh refinement to provide high spatial and temporal resolution for modeling astrophysical fluid flows, which can be run in one, two, and three dimensions, and supports a wide variety of physics, including hydrodynamics, ideal and non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic, N-body dynamics, primordial gas chemistry, optically thin radiative cooling of primordial and metal-enriched plasmas, and models for star formation and feedback in a cosmological context.

Multiphase galaxy formation: high-velocity clouds and the missing baryon problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take into account the expectation that the hot gas in galactic halos is thermally unstable and prone to fragmentation during cooling and show that the implications are more farreaching than previously expected: allowing multi-phase cooling fundamentally alters expectations about gas infall and naturally gives rise to a characteristic upper-limit on the masses of galaxies.
