Abstract

(Figure Presented) We have detected a bug in the code used for the simulation of the isotropic wind (section 3) in the original paper (Li et al. 2020, hereafter L+20). This bug caused the actual mass loss rate implemented for the isotropic wind simulation to be mw = 0.5M·/yr, half the value stated in L+20. In figs 1, 2, 4, and 5 of L+20, the analytical calculations are calculated following Gruzinov, Levin & Matzner (2020) with ?mw = 1M·/yr. We have checked that the qualitative conclusion of negative dynamical friction still holds. However, the agreement between analytical values and simulation results require modification.
