Gaseous drag on a gravitational perturber in Modified Newtonian Dynamics   and the structure of the wake
  We calculate the structure of a wake generated by, and the dynamical friction force on, a gravitational perturber travelling through a gaseous medium of uniform density and constant background acceleration g_ext, in the context of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). The wake is described as a linear superposition of two terms. The dominant part displays the same structure as the wake generated in Newtonian gravity scaled up by a factor mu^{-1}(g_ext/a_0), where a_{0} is the constant MOND acceleration and mu the interpolating function. The structure of the second term depends greatly on the angle between g_{ext} and and the velocity of the perturber. We evaluate the dynamical drag force numerically and compare our MOND results with the Newtonian case. We mention the relevance of our calculations to orbit evolution of globular clusters and satellites in a gaseous proto-galaxy. Potential differences in the X-ray emission of gravitational galactic wakes in MOND and in Newtonian gravity with a dark halo are highlighted.
