Gaseous wakes and dynamical friction: mass-losing and mass-gaining perturbers
F. J. Sanchez-Salcedo, R. O. Chametla
An extended gravitational object embedded in a parent system comprised of gas and collisionless particles may undergo both dynamical friction (DF) and mass loss by tidal forces. If…
Torques on low-mass bodies in retrograde orbit in gaseous disks
F. J. Sanchez-Salcedo, R. O. Chametla, A. Santillan
We evaluate the torque acting on a gravitational perturber on a retrograde circular orbit in the midplane of a gaseous disk. We assume that the mass of this satellite is so low it…
Binaries traveling through a gaseous medium: Dynamical drag forces and internal torques
F. J. Sanchez-Salcedo, Raul O. Chametla
Using time-dependent linear theory, we investigate the morphology of the gravitational wake induced by a binary, whose center of mass moves at velocity Vcm against a uniform backgr…
