Accretion of matter onto central Black Holes (BHs) in galaxies liberates enormous amounts of feedback energy, which affects the environment from pc to Mpc scales. These BHs are usually Supermassive BHs (SMBHs: mass ⩾106M) existing at the centers of active galactic nuclei (AGN), which are widely observed through their multi-wavelength emission at all cosmic epochs. Relatively recently, Intermediate-Mass BHs (IMBHs: mass = 100−106M) have started to be observed hosted in Dwarf Galaxy (DG) centers. Some of the central IMBHs in DGs show signatures of activity in the form of low-luminosity AGN. We have performed Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations to probe SMBHs in high-z quasars (Barai et al. 2018), and IMBHs in DGs (Barai & de Gouveia Dal Pino 2019). Our simulations employ the 3D TreePM SPH code GADGET-3, and include metal cooling, star formation, chemical enrichment, stellar evolution, supernova feedback, AGN accretion and feedback. Analyzing the simulation output in post-processing, we investigate the growth of the first IMBHs and the first SMBHs, as well as their impact on star-formation.
