Distribution of wandering SMBH velocities. The radial velocity direction and magnitude vs. total tangential velocity magnitude for wandering SMBHs (D > 0.7 kpc) in the inner 10 kpc of MW-mass halos. Both velocities are given relative to the maximum circular velocity of their host halo, v_max. The solid black lines represent ﹩\sqrt{2}{v}_{\max }﹩. The orbits of wandering SMBHs have random eccentricities and the majority are bound to the central galaxy.
