Description
The long-term evolution of the orbit of a satellite black hole captured by a massive galactic nucleus is examined. Repetitive transits across the accretion disk slab create a turbulent wake that needs to be further studied in order to estimate the effects of dragging and the amount of material pushed out of the disk plane. The hydrodynamical drag competes with the orbital decay by gravitational waves.
