Radio light curves at ν = 4.86 GHz for one-dimensional simulations using the fallback-powered jet luminosities and circumnuclear density profiles shown in Figure 1 for 106 and 107 M black holes. The black curve corresponds to the fiducial 107 M model. The gray curves correspond to models with a 106 M black hole that adopt the fiducial density profile shown in Figure 1 and an ambient density profile enhanced by a factor of 10. Although the external density modifies the deceleration time and peak luminosity, the delayed radio evolution produced by sustained energy injection persists across the full range of environments considered.
