Figure 1: Greyscale plot of the surface density in the disc in the case of the reference model after 10 orbits of the protoplanet in the disc. The gap clearing has already started, and the spiral density wave pattern is visible throughout the disc. The circle represents the Roche lobe of the protoplanet according to Eggleton's formula. |

Greyscale plots of the surface density
of the inner part of the protoplanetary disc in the case of the
reference model similar to Fig. 1 but in Cartesian
coordinates, with ( upper panel) and without ( lower panel) using the
XSPH-algorithm.
Note that the planet cannot be seen on these plots,
since it is located at a radial distance of
