Acoustic wake in an isothermal profile: dynamical friction and gravitational wave emission
Gali Eytan, Vincent Desjacques, Robin Buehler
We consider the motion of a circularly-moving perturber in a self-gravitating, collisional system with spherically symmetric density profile. We concentrate on the singular isother…

Orbital evolution of eccentric perturbers under dynamical friction: crossing the sound barrier
Robin Buehler, Roman Kolyada, Vincent Desjacques
In a gaseous medium, dynamical friction (DF) reaches a maximum when the orbital speed of a (point-like) perturber moving on a circular orbit is close to the sound speed. Therefore,…
