Steady-state distributions of the sBHs (blue lines) and the stars (yellow lines), as given by Equations (15) and (19). We consider an SMBH with M BH = 4 × 106 M and sBH number fractions f = 10−3 (solid lines) and f = 10−4 (dashed lines), as defined in Equation (11). We plot n(r) × r 3/2, which corresponds to the commonly used phase-space density, f(E). The star distribution extends from R h to the tidal radius, R t (Equation (18)), while the sBHs can reach R ISCO = 3R s .
