Title: | Agn phase: Matching numerical simulations to observations | Journal: | Proceedings of the XVII National Conference of Astronomers of Serbia | First page: | 263 | Last page: | 268 | Conference: | 17th National Conference of Astronomers of Serbia; Ceremonial Hall in Belgrade University Building Belgrade; Serbia; 23 September 2014 through 27 September 2014 | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2014 | ISBN: | 978-8-680-01980-2 | Abstract: | We use high resolution cosmological numerical simulation to identify AGNs in field massive galaxies in redshift range z=[0.8, 2.5]. Assuming that their activity is merger driven and that the final product of their accretion is an M-σ SMBH, we calculate expected AGN luminosity at the peak accretion activity. We compare these luminosities to those observed in AGNs of the COSMOS survey and find that most of the observed AGNs have passed their peak activity, accreting at lower Eddington ratios. This explains why a large number of AGNs is observed in red sequence galaxies. |
