Dissecting the co-evolution of Black Holes and galaxies via basic accretion and clustering models and the size distribution of early-type galaxies Francesco Shankar with: D. Weinberg, M. Bernardi, F.

SAMs are working hard to understand what is going on… Malbon et al. Lapi, FS, et al. ``our knowledge on the physics of accretion onto BHs and their interaction with galaxies is still poor to draw firm conclusions’’ Fontanot et al.

SO…WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUTHOW BHs EVOLVE? • ACCRETION: possible redshift and mass dependence in P(λ), and mass dependence in ε. • QUASAR CLUSTERING: scatter L-dep. (?), small-scales-> significant fraction of satellites increasing with time (?); Negative Evolution in Mbh-σ!!! • STRONG SIZE EVOLUTION: implies negative evolution but… Data->Positive Evolution in the Mbh-σ
Scaling Relations: an evolving Mbh-MSTAR relation?
Two-phase Galaxy Evolution: 1-High-z wet phase; 2-low-z Dry Accretion (?) FS, Marulli, Bernardi, Sheth et al. 2010a
CONCLUSIONS: -Strong Size, Sersic index Evolution, milder Velocity Dispersion Evolution ?!? (More Data) -Minor Mergers good candidates: keep also central density! However: enough? All galaxies on the same size-mass relation? Downsizing? -Implications: Evolution in the Mbh-Mbulge relation by a factor ~2 But : role of S0 galaxies? Role of Disk-Instability? -Other additional constraints from Ф(Re,z) ; Ф(σ,z); FP(z)
Observational Evidence: -Number/mass density strong decrease -Gas fraction increase -Sizes decrease

If velocity dispersions and stellar masses evolve…. What Happens to the SMBH-Galaxy Scaling Relations??

What is producing faint AGNs? More massive halos in minor events or less Massive halos in Major events? We converted to bias estimates the L-dependent cross-correlations of AGNs in SDSS by Cheng Li

Continuity Equation : to reduce number density of low-mass BHs continuosly decrease the Eddington Ratio in time! FS, D. Weinberg, J. Miralda-Escude’ 2009 FS 2009
CONCLUSIONS Starting From a Basic Model for the Triggering and Shining of QSOs we find: 1-Mass-dependent Light Curves favored 2-High clustering of z>3 QSOs : implies rapid growth/massive BH seeds; NO excess ‘’merger bias’’ 3-High Clustering of AGNs in SDSS: implies flat BH mass function at the low-mass end 4-Scaling Relations : at high-z same Mbh-σ, but smaller sizes and higher σ for given stellar mass favors higher Mbh-Mstar!
