\subsection{Merger tree}  Where we got the merger data from and how we extracted it.  - Using Andrea Kulier's cosmological simulation, we plotted galaxy masses as a function of time.  - We took the data from the three most massive galaxies (ie, most massive at redshift z=0).  - We curve-fit each galaxy's mass to polynomial functions of time.  - We also curve-fit each galaxy's (accreted+seeded) central black hole mass to exponential functions of time.  - We added those functions to the Fortran hermite code  - We implemented the SO potential-density pair (using the m200, r200 from the fitting functions above, getting half-mass radius from NFW profile, and using it as half-mass radius for the SO profile).  Simulation of Cen et al.
