We investigate the properties of accretion flows onto a black hole (BH) with a mass of $M_{rm BH}$ embedded in an initially uniform gas cloud with a density of $n_{infty}$ in order to study rapid growth of BHs in the early Universe. In previous work, the conditions for super-Eddington accretion from outside the Bondi radius were studied by assuming that radiation produced at the vicinity of the central BH has a single-power-law spectrum $ u^{-alpha}$ at $h u geq 13.6~{rm eV}$ ($alpha sim 1.5$). However, radiation spectra depends on the BH mass and accretion rate. Here, we perform two-dimensional multi-frequency radiation hydrodynamical simulations taking into account more realistic radiation spectra associated with the properties of nuclear accretion disks. We find that the condition for a transition to super-Eddington accretion is alleviated for a wide range of masses ($10lesssim M_{rm BH}/M_{odot} lesssim 10^6$) because photoionization for accretion disk spectra are less efficient than those for single-power-law spectra. For disk spectra, the transition to super-Eddington is more likely to occur for lower BH masses because the radiation spectra become too hard to ionize the gas. Even when accretion flows are exposed to anisotropic radiation, the effect due to radiation spectra shrinks the ionized region and likely leads to the transition to a wholly neutral accretion phase. Finally, by generalizing our simulation results, we construct a new analytical criterion required for super-Eddington accretion; $(M_{rm BH}/10^5~M_{odot}) (n_{infty}/10^4~{rm cm^{-3}}) gtrsim 2.4~ (langleepsilonrangle /100~{rm eV})^{-5/9}$, where $langleepsilonrangle$ is the mean energy of ionizing radiation from the central BH.

We perform two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamical simulations of accretion flows onto a black hole (BH) with a mass of $10^3leq M_{rm BH}/M_{odot} lesssim 10^6$ in order to study rapid growth of BHs in the early Universe. For spherically symmetric
flows, hyper-Eddington accretion onto the BH from outside the Bondi radius can occur unimpeded by radiation feedback only when the BH mass is higher than $simeq 10^4~M_{odot}(n_infty/10^5~{rm cm}^{-3})^{-1}(T_infty/10^4~{rm K})^{3/2}$, where $n_infty$ and $T_infty$ are the density and temperature of ambient gas. Here, we study the properties of accretion flows exposed to anisotropic radiation from a nuclear accretion disk with a luminosity higher than the Eddington value ($L_{rm Edd}$) due to collimation toward the bipolar directions. We find that, unlike the spherically symmetric case, even less massive BHs with $M_{rm BH} < 10^4~M_{odot}$ can be fed by surrounding gas at high accretion rates of $gtrsim L_{rm Edd}/c^2$ through the equatorial plane, while ionized regions expand to the polar directions producing hot outflows with $Tsim 10^5$K. For more massive BHs with $M_{rm BH}gtrsim 5times 10^5~M_{odot}$, neutral gas through the equatorial plane totally covers the central radiating region due to the non-radial gas motions, and thus the emergent radiation in all directions is blocked. Because of efficient recombination by hydrogen, the entire flow results in neutral and warm gas with $T simeq 8000~{rm K}$ . The central BH is fed through the equator at the averaged rate of $sim 5times 10^4~L_{rm Edd}/c^2$, which corresponds to $sim 50~%$ of the inflow rate from the Bondi radius. Moreover, radiation momentum absorbed by neutral hydrogen produces warm outflows toward the bipolar directions at $sim 30~%$ of the BH feeding rate and with a typical velocity of $simeq 50~{rm km~s}^{-1}$.
We investigate how environmental effects by gas stripping alter the growth of a super massive black hole (SMBH) and its host galaxy evolution, by means of 1D hydrodynamical simulations that include both mechanical and radiative AGN feedback effects.
By changing the truncation radius of the gas distribution (R_t), beyond which gas stripping is assumed to be effective, we simulate possible environments for satellite and central galaxies in galaxy clusters and groups. The continuous escape of gas outside the truncation radius strongly suppresses star formation, while the growth of the SMBH is less affected by gas stripping because the SMBH accretion is primarily ruled by the density of the central region. As we allow for increasing environmental effects - the truncation radius decreasing from about 410 to 50 kpc - we find that the final SMBH mass declines from about 10^9 to 8 x 10^8 Msol, but the outflowing mass is roughly constant at about 2 x 10^10 Msol. There are larger change in the mass of stars formed, which declines from about 2 x 10^10 to 2 x 10^9 Msol, and the final thermal X-ray gas, which declines from about 10^9 to 5 x 10^8 Msol, with increasing environmental stripping. Most dramatic is the decline in the total time that the objects would be seen as quasars, which declines from 52 Myr (for R_t = 377 kpc) to 7.9 Myr (for R_t = 51 kpc). The typical case might be interpreted as a red and dead galaxy having episodic cooling flows followed by AGN feedback effects resulting in temporary transitions of the overall galaxy color from red to green or to blue, with (cluster) central galaxies spending a much larger fraction of their time in the elevated state than do satellite galaxies.(Abridged)
We use global three dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to study accretion disks onto a $5times 10^8M_{odot}$ black hole with accretion rates varying from $sim 250L_{Edd}/c^2$ to $1500 L_{Edd}/c^2$. We form the disks with torus c
entered at $50-80$ gravitational radii with self-consistent turbulence initially generated by the magneto-rotational instability. We study cases with and without net vertical magnetic flux. The inner regions of all disks have radiation pressure $sim 10^4-10^6$ times the gas pressure. Non-axisymmetric density waves that steepen into spiral shocks form as gas flows towards the black hole. In simulations without net vertical magnetic flux, Reynolds stress generated by the spiral shocks are the dominant mechanism to transfer angular momentum. Maxwell stress from MRI turbulence can be larger than the Reynolds stress only when net vertical magnetic flux is sufficiently large. Outflows are formed with speed $sim 0.1-0.4c$. When the accretion rate is smaller than $sim 500 L_{Edd}/c^2$, outflows start around $10$ gravitational radii and the radiative efficiency is $sim 5%-7%$ with both magnetic field configurations. With accretion rate reaching $1500 L_{Edd}/c^2$, most of the funnel region close to the rotation axis becomes optically thick and the outflow only develops beyond $50$ gravitational radii. The radiative efficiency is reduced to $1%$. We always find the kinetic energy luminosity associated with the outflow is only $sim 15%-30%$ of the radiative luminosity. The mass flux lost in the outflow is $sim 15%-50%$ of the net mass accretion rates. We discuss implications of our simulation results on the observational properties of these disks.
We discuss the central role played by X-ray studies to reconstruct the past history of formation and evolution of supermassive Black Holes (BHs), and the role they played in shaping the properties of their host galaxies. We shortly review the progres
s in this field contributed by the current X-ray and multiwavelength surveys. Then, we focus on the outstanding scientific questions that have been opened by observations carried out in the last years and that represent the legacy of Chandra and XMM, as for X-ray observations, and the legacy of the SDSS, as for wide area surveys: 1) When and how did the first supermassive black holes form? 2) How does cosmic environment regulate nuclear activity (and star formation) across cosmic time? 3) What is the history of nuclear activity in a galaxy lifetime? We show that the most efficient observational strategy to address these questions is to carry out a large-area X-ray survey, reaching a sensitivity comparable to that of deep Chandra and XMM pointings, but extending over several thousands of square degrees. Such a survey can only be carried out with a Wide-Field X-ray Telescope (WFXT) with a high survey speed, due to the combination of large field of view and large effective area, i.e., grasp, and sharp PSF. We emphasize the important synergies that WFXT will have with a number of future groundbased and space telescopes, covering from the radio to the X-ray bands and discuss the immense legacy value that such a mission will have for extragalactic astronomy at large.
We perform the first three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamical simulations that investigate the growth of intermediate-mass BHs (IMBHs) embedded in massive self-gravitating, dusty nuclear accretion disks. We explore the dependence of mass accretion
efficiency on the gas metallicity $Z$ and mass injection at super-Eddington accretion rates from the outer galactic disk $dot{M}_{rm in}$, and find that the central BH can be fed at rates exceeding the Eddington rate only when the dusty disk becomes sufficiently optically thick to ionizing radiation. In this case, mass outflows from the disk owing to photoevaporation is suppressed and thus a large fraction ($gtrsim 40%$) of the mass injection rate can feed the central BH. The conditions are expressed as $dot{M}_{rm in} > 2.2times 10^{-1}~M_odot ~{rm yr}^{-1} (1+Z/10^{-2}~Z_odot)^{-1}(c_{rm s}/10~{rm km~s}^{-1})$, where $c_{rm s}$ is the sound speed in the gaseous disk. With increasing numerical resolution, vigorous disk fragmentation reduces the disk surface density and dynamical heating by formed clumps makes the disk thickness higher. As a result, the photoevaorative mass-loss rate rises and thus the critical injection rate increases for fixed metallicity. This process enables super-Eddington growth of BHs until the BH mass reaches $M_{rm BH} sim 10^{7-8}~M_odot$, depending on the properties of the host dark-matter halo and metal-enrichment history. In the assembly of protogalaxies, seed BHs that form in overdense regions with a mass variance of 3-4$sigma$ at $zsim 15-20$ are able to undergo short periods of their rapid growth and transits into the Eddington-limited growth phase afterwards to be supermassive BHs observed at $z>6-7$.
