Dynamical evolution of 21603 ≃ 1e10 DM particles with
mass 8.6x1e8 Msun/h in a periodic box of 500 Mpc/h on
a side, in a LCDM “concordance” cosmological framework

(Colless et al. 2001) and first-year WMAP data (Spergel
et al. 2003), as shown by Sanchez et al. (2006))
Mass resolution: DM halo of 0.1L⋆ galaxies with ~ 100
particles
Spatial resolution: co-moving scale of 5 kpc/h
Hierarchical merging trees extracted from this simulation
DM haloes and subhalos identified with, respectively, a
friends-of-friends (FOF) group-finder and an extended
version of the SUBFIND algorithm (Springel et al. 2001)

Conclusions
• The cosmological co-evolution of BHs, AGN and galaxies can be well described within the ΛCDM model
• At redshifts z>1, the evolution history of DM halo fully determines the overall properties of the BH and
AGN populations. The AGN emission is triggered mainly by DM halo major mergers and, on average, AGN
shine at their Eddington luminosity
• The cold gas fraction accreted by BHs at high redshifts seems to be larger than at low redshifts
• At redshifts z<1, BH growth decouples from halo growth. Galaxy major mergers cannot constitute the
only trigger to accretion episodes in this phase
• When a static hot halo has formed around a galaxy, a fraction of the hot gas continuously accretes onto
the central BH, causing a low-energy “radio'' activity at the galactic centre, which prevents significant
gas cooling and thus limiting the mass of the central galaxies and quenching the star formation at late time
The end!
…thanks!
