Planetary influence in the gap of a protoplanetary disk: structure formation and an application to V1247 Ori. (2017). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 53(2), 275-307. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2017rmxaa..53..275a

Abstract

We present a set of hydrodynamical models of a planetary system embedded in a protoplanetary disk in order to extract the number of dust structures formed in the disk, their masses and sizes, within optical depth ranges τ≤0.5, 0.5<τ<2 and τ≥2. The study of the structures shows: (1) an increase in the number of planets implies an increase in the creation rate of massive structures; (2) a lower planetary mass accretion corresponds to slower time effects for optically thin structures; (3) an increase in the number of planets allows a faster evolution of the structures in the Hill radius for the different optical depth ranges of the inner planets. An ad-hoc simulation was run using the available information of the stellar system V1247 Ori, leading to a model of a planetary system which explains the SED and is consistent with interferometric observations of structures.
