Acoustic Wake in a Singular Isothermal Profile: Dynamical Friction and Gravitational-wave Emission

We consider the motion of a circularly moving perturber in a self-gravitating, collisional system with a spherically symmetric density profile. We concentrate on the singular isothermal sphere, which, despite its pathological features, admits a simple polarization function in linear response theory....
