  "abstract": "When a gravitating point mass moves subsonically through a magnetized and isothermal medium, the dynamical structure of the flow is studied far from the mass using a perturbation analysis. Analytical solutions for the first-order density and the velocity perturbations are presented. Validity of our solutions is restricted to the cases where the Alfven velocity in the ambient medium is less than the accretor's velocity. The density field is less dense because of the magnetic effects according to the solutions and the dynamical friction force becomes lower as the strength of the magnetic field increases.",
