A survey and comparison of various models of gravitational dynamical friction
Under certain circumstances, a massive object travelling through a medium may experience a net average deceleration due to the gravitational interaction between it and the medium. This slowing down effect is called dynamical friction. There are a variety of ways in which dynamical friction may be m...
