Stochastic Langevin coefficient Lth(Lt,It) associated with the stochastic diffusion of a retrograde massive perturber of mass μt = 100μ along the grey dashed line, It = const., identified in Fig. 10. The coefficient g associated with the stochastic of this massive perturber is the same as in Fig. 12. Following Eq. (72), one can note that for a massive enough perturber (or for light enough bath wires), one has h(Jt) → −(μt/μ)A(Jt) and g(Jt) → 0. This non-vanishing contribution is the friction force by polarisation, which drives dynamical friction.
