Wang et al. (2006;2008): duty cycle Soltan (1982); Chokshi & Turner (1992); Yu & Tremaine (2002); Marconi et al. (2004): =0.1 Main growth of SMBH is driven by accretion Understanding trigger of SMBHs: spins
32
Spin evolution: -equation (Wang, Hu et al. 2009, ApJ, 697, L141)
33
Properties and advantages: 1) only depends on observables 2) deep survey data for δ: up to redshift z 3) no need to compare with local BH mass density 4) Spin evolution
34
Bolometric luminosity function and density (Hopkins et al. 2007)
35
Mass function and BH density (Vestergaard et al. 2008; 2009)
36
Results Luminosity density SMBH density Vestergaard et al. (2009) Duty cycle Hopkins et al. (2007)
37
Cosmological evolution of SMBH spins King & Pringle (2007;2008): random accretion
38
Random accretion: spin-down
39
Evidence for random accretion Schmidt (1997), Pringle (1998) jet/disk is randomly-orientated torus is randomly-orientated disk+torus+galaxy have random orientation. Munoz Marin (2007)

Numerical simulations (Berti & Volonteri 2008) Pure mergersMerger+standard accretionMerger+random accretion What is driving the random accretion onto SMBH?
41

Conclusions 1 ) fast spins: in MCG -6-30-15 and M87 1 ) fast spins: in MCG -6-30-15 and M87 2) strong evolution of SMBH spins: spin-down 2) strong evolution of SMBH spins: spin-down 3) merging galaxies: dual AGNs 3) merging galaxies: dual AGNs
46
Open questions X-rays: more detailed and high energy solution -rays: more observations Spin evolution: co-evolution of SMBHs and galaxies Mergers: major and minor mergers.
