Description
Real EMRI systems are likely to contain large accretion disks which could be as massive as the central supermassive black hole itself. Therefore, contrary to its ideal model, a real system contains an environment that could interfere with the free movement of the companion. We study such systems and found that the disk’s hydrodynamic drag has a non-negligible effect on the motion of the companion and thereby leaves an observable imprint on the emitted gravitational wave (GW) signal.
