OpenMP version of the ‘Hydra’ SPH code (Pearce & Couchman 1997, Thacker et al 2003, Thacker & Couchman, 2006) 2x 640 3 mass elements (half gas, half dark matter) Largest cosmological SPH simulation ever carried out at that time 147 h -1 Mpc box, mass resolution 2.2x10 8 baryons, 1.2x10 9 DM Locally adaptive Fourier-mesh scheme 140,000 cpu hours, down to 140,000 cpu hours, down toz=1.2 Total disk output ~ 5 TB (1/5th size of Millennium Run) Total disk output ~ 5 TB (1/5th size of Millennium Run) Simulating Quasars Thacker, ES & Couchman 2006, ApJ, 653, 86

4. Simulating Quasars Modification of work done on SN outflows (ES, Thacker, & Davis 2001, Thacker, ES, & Davis 2002) Outflows are modeled as thin spherical shells. Host galaxy remains intact. Quasar are associated with 3:1 mergers, “LIGHTBULB”-- L-Edd as in Wyithe & Loeb BH mass calculated from baryonic velocity dispersion 5% of energy in light is put into outflow Thacker, ES & Couchman 2006, ApJ, 653, 86

5. Quasar tracking Merger model requires that we find groups and identify mergers while the simulation is running Need fast group finder Previous work used group finder to identify the mass of objects and determine star formation events Simple to adapt this to include a group index Merger model requires that we find groups and identify mergers while the simulation is running Need fast group finder Previous work used group finder to identify the mass of objects and determine star formation events Simple to adapt this to include a group index Time 1 23 45 67 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Correlation function of Quasars Our simulation agrees with the observed turn-up in the small scale clustering of quasars CF is explained by the “halo model” of clustering No need for “special physics” Our simulation agrees with the observed turn-up in the small scale clustering of quasars CF is explained by the “halo model” of clustering No need for “special physics” Sloan binary quasar data (Hennawi et al 2005) 2dF results (Croom et al 2001) Blue=sim
