  The dissipative dynamics of a heavy quark passing through charged thermal
plasmas of strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory is studied
using AdS/CFT. We compute the linear response of the dilaton field to a test
string in the rotating near-extremal D3 brane background, finding the momentum
space profile of $<\textrm{tr}F^{2}>$ numerically. Our results naively support
the wake picture discussed in hep-th/0605292, provided the rotation parameter
is not too large.
