The clustering of simulated quasars (2009)
We analyze the clustering properties of quasars simulated using a semianalytic model built on the Millennium Simulation, with the goal of testing scenarios in which black hole accretion and quasar...
On merger bias and the clustering of quasars (2009)
Bonoli, Silvia, Shankar, Francesco, White, Simon, Springel, Volker, Wyithe, Stuart
We use the large catalogues of haloes available for the Millennium Simulation to test whether recently merged haloes exhibit stronger large-scale clustering than other haloes of the same mass. This...

We study the spatial distribution of X-ray selected AGN in the framework of hierarchical co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies and dark matter haloes. To this end, we have...

We use semi-analytic modeling on top of the Millennium simulation to study the joint formation of galaxies and their embedded supermassive black holes. Our goal is to test scenarios in which black...
Halo stochasticity in global clustering analysis (2008)
In the present work we study the statistics of haloes, which in the halo model determines the distribution of galaxies. Haloes are known to be biased tracer of dark matter, and at large scales it is...
Marulli, Federico, Bonoli, Silvia, Branchini, Enzo, Moscardini, Lauro, Springel, Volker
We model the cosmological co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes (BHs) within a semi-analytical framework developed on the outputs of the Millennium Simulation. This...
