The Dependence of the Structure of Planet-opened Gaps in Protoplanetary Disks on Radiative Cooling
Planets can excite density waves and open annular gas gaps in protoplanetary disks. The depth of gaps is influenced by the evolving angular momentum carried by density waves. While the impact of radiative cooling on the evolution of density waves has been studied, a quantitative correlation to conne...
