The Evolution of Protoplanetary Disk Edges

We investigate gap formation in gaseous protostellar disks by a planet in a circular orbit in the limit of low disk viscosity. This regime may be appropriate to an aging disk after the epoch of planet formation. We find that the distance of the planet to the gap outer boundary …
