Scientific paper

The orbital decay of satellites around spherical galaxies is studied numerically using both self-consistent and semirestricted N-body methods. The inferred sinking rates are in good agreement with analytic predictions from a linear perturbation analysis. It is shown that the orbital decay is strongly suppressed if the self-gravity of the response is included. It is demonstrated that the loss of orbital angular momentum by the satellite is not a local process.
