Abstract: An active bath, made of self-propelling units, is a nonequilibrium medium in which the Einstein relation $D=mu{k}_{B}T$ between the mobility $mu$ and the diffusivity $D$ of a tracer particle cannot be expected to hold a priori. We consider here heavy tracers for which these coefficients can be related to correlation functions which we estimate. We show that, to a good approximation, an Einstein relation does hold in an active bath upon using a different temperature which is defined mechanically, through the pressure exerted on the tracer.
