Abstract

Since black holes can only accrete sub-Keplerian matter, a companion black\nhole orbiting on a circular and instantaneously Keplerian orbit around a\ncentral, massive black hole in a galactic Centre will loss angular momentum and\nenergy to the accreting matter. This loss could be a significant fraction of\nthe loss due to gravitational wave (GW) emission. The corresponding GW signal\nwould be modified. We discuss this effects in the light of the modern accretion\ndisk theory.\n
