Properties of all MBHs fed by MCs at all redshifts: normalized distribution of the masses of MBHs (top) and their host halos (bottom). The probability of MC accretion increases with galaxy mass. However, the most massive galaxies are spheroids and they therefore do not have a population of MCs available.
