The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colours of galaxies

Abstract: We simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi‐analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the concordance Λ cold dark matter cosmogony. Our procedures follow the detailed assembly history of each object and are able to track the evolution of all galaxies more massive than the Small Magellanic Cloud throughout a volume comparable to that of large modern redshift surveys. In this first paper we supplement previous… Show more

“…Models imply that the relative importance of the cold mode will increase at high redshifts and dominate in both the low and high mass galaxies (e.g., Keres et al 2005;Croton et al 2006). In such models, cold accretion can occur episodically, and many models link the formation of black holes to major merger events (e.g., Hopkins et al 2008;Di Matteo et al 2008).…”

“…A great deal of theoretical and observational effort is now being expended on understanding why this simple expectation does not appear to be borne out by observations. Matter accreting onto central supermassive black holes can, in principle, provide a vast source of energy, and jets or outflows can provide mechanisms for transporting the energy to large enough radii to regulate cooling and star formation in the massive galaxies where such black holes live (e.g., Churazov et al 2001;Croton et al 2006;Bower et al 2006;Hopkins et al 2008;Di Matteo et al 2008).…”

“…While the observed low SFR and a predominantly old stellar population rules out a strong influence of young starburst driven winds on the halo gas of LRGs, the influence of AGN feedback can be dominant (e.g., McNamara & Nulsen 2007. In particular, radio-mode feedback has been invoked in galaxy formation models to suppress star formation in massive halos (e.g., Croton et al 2006). In addition, a cross-comparison between SDSS LRGs and FIRST radio sources has identified ≈ 3% of the LRGs hosting radio-loud AGN (e.g., Sadler et al 2007), and efforts in search of fainter radio emission in the remaining LRGs based on median stacks of FIRST images have continued to uncover radio signals at a level of a few × 10 µJy (e.g., Hodge et al 2008Hodge et al , 2009.…”

“…the new publicly available code, Galacticus Benson, 2012). Because of this, SAMs are readily used for isolating the effects of an individual astrophysical process (see Croton et al, 2006, for an example of this.). One promising way forward with SAMs is the construction of large grids of models that aim to constrain galaxy formation parameter spaces via comparison to observations through Markov Chain Monte Carlo models (e.g.…”
