Eccentric Gap Induced by a Super-Jupiter-mass Planet

Eccentric Gap Induced by a Super-Jupiter-mass Planet

Abstract A giant planet embedded in a protoplanetary disk opens a gap by tidal interaction, and properties of the gap strongly depend on the planetary mass and disk parameters. Many numerical simulations of this process have been conducted, but detailed simulations and analysis of gap formation by a super-Jupiter-mass planet …
