3 How can we trace black hole growth? AGN Luminosity function is main demographic quantity Physical quantities of black holes: black hole mass M accretion rate / Eddington ratio λ = L bol /L Edd Andreas Schulze (KIAA) Galaxies vs Black Holes 3 / 16

4 How can we trace black hole growth? AGN Luminosity function is main demographic quantity Physical quantities of black holes: black hole mass M accretion rate / Eddington ratio λ = L bol /L Edd L λm implies degeneracy between M and λ additional M information able to break this degeneracy Andreas Schulze (KIAA) Galaxies vs Black Holes 3 / 16

6 Application of the BHMF Constraints on theoretical models comparison with galaxy evolution models Evolution of BH-bulge relations requires knowledge of distribution functions Hirschmann et al. (2012) Schulze & Wisotzki (2011) Andreas Schulze (KIAA) Galaxies vs Black Holes 4 / 16
