We make black hole (BH) merger trees from Millennium and Millennium-II simulations to find under what conditions 10^9Msun SMBH can form by redshift z=7. In order to exploit both: large box size in the Millennium simulation; and large mass resolution in the Millennium-II simulation, we develop a method to combine these two simulations together, and use the Millennium-II merger trees to predict the BH seeds to be used in the Millennium merger trees. We run multiple semi-analytical simulations where SMBHs grow through mergers and episodes of gas accretion triggered by major mergers. As a constraint, we use observed BH mass function at redshift z=6. We find that in the light of the recent observations of moderate super-Eddington accretion, low-mass seeds (100Msun) could be the progenitors of high-redshift SMBHs (z~7), as long as the accretion during the accretion episodes is moderately super-Eddington, where f_Edd=3.7 is the effective Eddington ratio averaged over 50 Myr.

We detected 10 compact galaxy groups (CGs) at $z=0$ in the semi-analytic galaxy catalog of Guo et al. (2011) for the milli-Millennium Cosmological Simulation (sCGs in mGuo2010a). We aimed to identify potential canonical pathways for compact group evo
lution and thus illuminate the history of observed nearby compact groups. By constructing merger trees for $z=0$ sCG galaxies, we studied the cosmological evolution of key properties, and compared them with $z=0$ Hickson CGs (HCGs). We found that, once sCG galaxies come within 1 (0.5) Mpc of their most massive galaxy, they remain within that distance until $z=0$, suggesting sCG birth redshifts. At $z=0$ stellar masses of sCG most-massive galaxies are within $10^{10} lesssim M_{ast}/M_{odot} lesssim 10^{11}$. In several cases, especially in the two 4- and 5-member systems, the amount of cold gas mass anti-correlates with stellar mass, which in turn correlates with hot gas mass. We define the angular difference between group members 3D velocity vectors, $Deltatheta_{rm vel}$, and note that many of the groups are long-lived because their small values of $Deltatheta_{rm vel}$ indicate a significant parallel component. For triplets in particular, $Deltatheta_{rm vel}$ values range between $20^{circ}$ and $40^{circ}$ so that galaxies are coming together along roughly parallel paths, and pairwise separations do not show large pronounced changes after close encounters. The best agreement between sCG and HCG physical properties is for $M_{ast}$ galaxy values, but HCG values are higher overall, including for SFRs. Unlike HCGs, due to a tail at low SFR and $M_{ast}$, and a lack of $M_{ast}gtrsim 10^{11}M_{odot}$ galaxies, only a few sCG galaxies are on the star-forming main sequence.
We have exploited the large-volume Millennium Gas cosmological N-body hydrodynamics simulations to study the SZ cluster population at low and high redshift, for three models with varying gas physics. We confirm previous results using smaller samples
that the intrinsic (spherical) Y_{500}-M_{500} relation has very little scatter (sigma_{log_{10}Y}~0.04), is insensitive to cluster gas physics and evolves to redshift one in accord with self-similar expectations. Our pre-heating and feedback models predict scaling relations that are in excellent agreement with the recent analysis from combined Planck and XMM-Newton data by the Planck Collaboration. This agreement is largely preserved when r_{500} and M_{500} are derived using the hydrostatic mass proxy, Y_{X,500}, albeit with significantly reduced scatter (sigma_{log_{10}Y}~0.02), a result that is due to the tight correlation between Y_{500} and Y_{X,500}. Interestingly, this assumption also hides any bias in the relation due to dynamical activity. We also assess the importance of projection effects from large-scale structure along the line-of-sight, by extracting cluster Y_{500} values from fifty simulated 5x5 square degree sky maps. Once the (model-dependent) mean signal is subtracted from the maps we find that the integrated SZ signal is unbiased with respect to the underlying clusters, although the scatter in the (cylindrical) Y_{500}-M_{500} relation increases in the pre-heating case, where a significant amount of energy was injected into the intergalactic medium at high redshift. Finally, we study the hot gas pressure profiles to investigate the origin of the SZ signal and find that the largest contribution comes from radii close to r_{500} in all cases. The profiles themselves are well described by generalised Navarro, Frenk & White profiles but there is significant cluster-to-cluster scatter.
Simulations of large-scale structure in the universe have played a vital role in observational cosmology since 1980s in particular. Their important role will definitely continue to be true in the 21st century. Rather the requirements for simulations
in the precision cosmology era will become more progressively demanding; they are supposed to fill the missing link in an accurate and reliable manner between the ``initial condition at z=1000 revealed by WMAP and the galaxy/quasar distribution at z=0 - 6 surveyed by 2dF and SDSS. In this review, I will summarize what we have learned so far from the previous cosmological simulations, and discuss several remaining problems for the new millennium.
Certain configurations of massive structures projected along the line of sight maximize the number of detections of gravitationally lensed $zsim10$ galaxies. We characterize such lines of sight with the etendue $sigma_mu$, the area in the source plan
e magnified over some threshold $mu$. We use the Millennium I and Millennium XXL cosmological simulations to determine the frequency of high $sigma_mu$ beams on the sky, their properties, and efficient selection criteria. We define the best beams as having $sigma_{mu>3} >2000$ arcsec$^2$, for a $zsim10$ source plane, and predict $477 pm 21$ such beams on the sky. The total mass in the beam and $sigma_{mu>3}$ are strongly correlated. After controlling for total mass, we find a significant residual correlation between $sigma_{mu>3}$ and the number of cluster-scale halos ($>10^{14} M_odot h^{-1}$) in the beam. Beams with $sigma_{mu>3} >2000$ arcsec$^2$, which should be best at lensing $zsim10$ galaxies, are ten times more likely to contain multiple cluster-scale halos than a single cluster-scale halo. Beams containing an Abell 1689-like massive cluster halo often have additional structures along the line of sight, including at least one additional cluster-scale ($M_{200}>10^{14}M_odot h^{-1}$) halo 28% of the time. Selecting beams with multiple, massive structures will lead to enhanced detection of the most distant and intrinsically faint galaxies.
The joint likelihood of observable cluster signals reflects the astrophysical evolution of the coupled baryonic and dark matter components in massive halos, and its knowledge will enhance cosmological parameter constraints in the coming era of large,
multi-wavelength cluster surveys. We present a computational study of intrinsic covariance in cluster properties using halo populations derived from Millennium Gas Simulations (MGS). The MGS are re-simulations of the original 500 Mpc/h Millennium Simulation performed with gas dynamics under two different physical treatments: shock heating driven by gravity only (GO) and a second treatment with cooling and preheating (PH). We examine relationships among structural properties and observable X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signals for samples of thousands of halos with M_200 > 5 times 10^{13} Msun/h and z < 2. While the X-ray scaling behavior of PH model halos at low-redshift offers a good match to local clusters, the model exhibits non-standard features testable with larger surveys, including weakly running slopes in hot gas observable--mass relations and ~10% departures from self-similar redshift evolution for 10^14 Msun/h halos at redshift z ~ 1. We find that the form of the joint likelihood of signal pairs is generally well-described by a multivariate, log-normal distribution, especially in the PH case which exhibits less halo substructure than the GO model. At fixed mass and epoch, joint deviations of signal pairs display mainly positive correlations, especially the thermal SZ effect paired with either hot gas fraction (r=0.88/0.69 for PH/GO at z=0) or X-ray temperature (r=0.62/0.83). We discuss halo mass selection by signal pairs, and find a minimum mass scatter of 4% in the PH model by combining thermal SZ and gas fraction measurements.
