In most of previous theoretical and numerical works on the orbital evolution of satellite galaxies, the classical Chandrasekhar's formula has been adopted. However, a recent direct N-body result “(van den Bosh et al. 1999)” demonstrated that the orbital evolution is rather different from what is predicted from the Chandrasekhar's formula. The reason for this discrepancy, however, was not clear.
