Conclusions The end! …thanks! 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!
