  1. The joint formation of spheroids and Super Massive Black HolesGian Luigi Granato(INAF-Padova & SISSA)with:Michele CirasuoloLuigi DaneseGianfranco De ZottiAndrea LapiFrancesco ShankarLaura Silva

  2. To compare scenarios of galaxy formation with observations two very critical and uncertain steps: • Model the non linear evolution of ordinary matter: most driving processes occur well below the resolution of any simulation (sub-grid physics) and are poorly understood ) a lot of uncertainty; • Model the interaction of photons produced by stars and accretion processes with the dusty ISM. • Since long (Silva et al 1998, Granato et al 2001, 2004) we have devoted efforts to these aspects

  3. Ab-initio or first principles models do not really exist • Most extensive comparison between possible scenarios and data are done by means of the semi-analytic models (SAM), which by definition have many a-priori assumptions, and you get what you put in

  4. Almost all SAMs assume agalaxy merger driven sequence of processes leading to present day galaxy populations (Rees & Ostriker 1977, Silk 1977, White & Rees 1978…) • The first result of gas cooling is gaseous, disk formation, supported by rotation and with mild SF; • Disk mergers are the only driver of bursty SF and of the formation of spheroids. • 1-2 are not necessarily true and for sure do not break “naturally” the hierarchy: baryons tend to follow the bottom-up hierarchy of CDM (i.e. gravity leads);

  5. Problems of standard simulations: room for quasar? • Calculations based on this general scheme shows mismatches indicating holes in our understanding of galaxy formation. • In particular the evidence is growing that the co-evolution of SMBHs and galaxies could play a role in at least some of the following problems: • Overcooling • Cooling flow conundrum • Scaling relations of clusters (L-T) • Sub-mm and near IR selected high z-populations, and properties of Ellipticals

  6. Observations suggest an assembly of baryons in Es mimicking to some extent the monolithic scenario with more massive objects forming faster. • To get this within hierarchical assembly of DMH we proposed a revision of SAM (Granato et al. 2001, 2004; Anti-hierarchical Baryonic Collapse ABC): • Reduced role of gas disk formation at high z: cool collapsing gas in big halos at high-z start vigorous SF without setting in a quiescent disk, and promoting the development of SMBH. • Keep into account the mutual feed-back between formation of high-z QSO and their host galaxies largely ignored by simulation (before us).

  8.

  9. SFR Galaxy SMBH Accretion rate Phase 1: VERY Dusty and huge SF and baby SMBH growth lasting » 0.5-1 Gyr ) SMG with mild obscured AGN activity – dusty ERO

  10. ABC naturally reproduces SMGs (e.g. no ad-hoc IMF) SCUBA 850 m data model MAMBO 1200 m

  11. THE PRE-QSO PHASE IN SMGs The build up by accretion of the SMBH, promoted by SF and before the bright optical QSO phase, gives rise to a mild AGN activity in sub-mm galaxies, detectable only in hard-X Indeed »50% of 5 mJy SCUBA sources host an X-ray AGN with intrinsicLX[0.5-8]' 1043-1044erg s-1 (Alexander et al 03,04,05) dM/dt(BH)>0.013 M¯/yr ) L(0.5-8)>1E43 erg/s dM/dt(BH)>0.13 M¯/yr ) L(0.5-8)>1E44 erg/s (Granato et al 2006)

  12. By converse, the normal disk merging scenario for SMGs predicts too high M and dM/dt for the SMBH in SMG, because of the '1 Gyr phase of disturbance and SMBG growth preceding the final merge and huge SF.

  25. CONCLUSION • The mutual link between the formation of spheroids and the AGN activity is a key ingredient that must be included into models of galaxy formation. • The prescriptions of the ABC scenario (Granato et al. 2001, 2004) lead (in one shot) to predictions in general agreement with many observations which are disturbing for traditional SAMs: • statistic of sub-mm galaxies and their mild AGN activity • cosmic evolution of QSO activity • statistic of massive galaxies at high-z • local mass function of SMBH • local K band LF of spheroids • abundances in ellipticals • Main papers to look: Granato et al. 2001, 2004; Silva et al 2005; Granato et al 2006; Lapi et al submitted, Silva et al in prep Evolution
