Scientific paper

The gravitational interaction between a massive object and ambient gas is considered. A description of subsonic and supersonic flows past a massive, mass ejecting object in nonviscous gas is given, including an estimate of the maximum density enhancements near the shock-front. The drag and the associated gas heating rates are calculated and compared with results for motion through collisionless gas.
