Enzo primary references

The Enzo method paper is not yet complete. However, there are several papers that describe the numerical methods used in Enzo, and a page that gives a brief outline of the essential physics in enzo. Two general references (that should be considered to stand in for the method paper) are:

• Introducing Enzo, an AMR Cosmology Application by O'Shea et al. In "Adaptive Mesh Refinement - Theory and Applications," Eds. T. Plewa, T. Linde & V. G. Weirs, Springer Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, 2004. Bibtex entry

• Simulating Cosmological Evolution with Enzo by Norman et al. In "Petascale Computing: Algorithms and Applications," Ed. D. Bader, CRC Press LLC, 2007. Bibtex entry

Three somewhat older conferences proceedings are also relevant:
