Figure 6: (a) Slices of the density $N (E, R,t)$ at one, arbitrary $E$ , recorded, from left to right, at $100$ , $101$ , $102$ , $103$ , and $104Myr$ (solid curve). Initially, $N (E,R, t) = 0$ for $R < Rlc$ and $N (E, R,t) = const$ for $R > Rlc$ . We also show the equilibrium solution of Equation (31 ) (dot-dashed curve). (b) The total number of stars consumed by the loss cone as a function of time (solid curve). The scale has been set to galaxy M32 with initial separation between the MBHs of $0.1pc$ . (From [152])
