SUMMARY:How to model black hole physics in cosmological simulations? - Deb

DESCRIPTION:Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are one of the most po
 werful tools to study the formation and evolution of galaxies and their ce
 ntral black holes in the fully non-linear regime. Despite several recent s
 uccesses in simulating Milky Way look-alikes\, self-consistent\, ab-initio
  models are still a long way off. In this talk I will briefly review numer
 ical and physical uncertainties plaguing current state-of-the-art cosmolog
 ical simulations of galaxy formation. I will then present global propertie
 s of galaxies and black holes as obtained with novel cosmological simulati
 ons\, the so-called Illustris project\, and discuss which feedback mechani
 sms are needed to reproduce realistic stellar masses and galaxy morphologi
 es in the present day Universe. In the second part of the talk I will disc
 uss novel ways how to model black hole physics on small scales and how to 
 incorporate these methods in large-scale cosmological simulations.\n
