Supplements to “A Critical Supermassive Black Hole Mass Regulating Galaxy Evolution” 1 Galaxy Formation Modelling The main strategy behind the modelling approach we follow is to first calculate the collapse and merging history of individual dark matter halos, which is governed purely by gravitational interac- tions, and secondly to calculate the more complex physics of the baryons inside these dark matter halos, including e.g. radiative cooling of the gas, star formation and feedback from supernovae by simplified prescriptions on top of the dark matter evolution. Each of the dark matter halos consist of three main components which are distributed among individual galaxies inside them. A stel- lar, cold and hot gas component, where the latter is only attributed to central galaxies, the most massive galaxies inside individual halos. In the following sections, we will describe briefly the recipes used to calculate these different components which are mainly based on recipes presented in Kauffmann et al.1 (hereafter, K99) and Springel et al.2 (hereafter, S01), and we refer readers for more details on model implementations to their work and references therein. Throughout this paper we use the following set of cosmological parameters: Ω0 = 0.3, Ω = 0.7, Ω /Ω = 0.15, σ = 0.9 and h = 0.65. Λ b 0 8 Dark Matter Evolution We calculate the merging history of dark matter halos according to the 3 prescription presented in Somerville et al. . This approach has been shown to produce merging histories and progenitor distributions in reasonable agreement with result from N-body simulations 1 4 of cold dark matter structure formation i
