Modelling the cosmic evolution of the brightest quasar population
We develop and present models within a semi-analytic merger tree based framework for the evolution of the brightest quasar population from redshifts z ~ 6 to the present, based on Eddington limited accretion on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and driven by galaxy mergers. We first demonstrate th...
