OBSERVATIONAL SIGNATURES OF PLANETS IN PROTOPLANETARY DISKS. I. GAPS OPENED BY SINGLE AND MULTIPLE YOUNG PLANETS IN DISKS

It has been suggested that the gaps and cavities recently discovered in transitional disks are opened by planets. To explore this scenario, we combine two-dimensional two fluid (gas + particle) hydrodynamical calculations with three-dimensional Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer simulations, and study the observational signatures of gaps opened by one or …
