Cosmological simulations of the growth of supermassive black holes and feedback from active galactic nuclei: method and tests

(Abridged) We present a method that tracks the growth of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the feedback from AGN in cosmological simulations. Our model is a substantially modified version of the one by Springel et al. (2005). Because cosmological simulations lack both the resolution and the physics to model the …
