Fig. 6

Torque density acting on a planet on a fixed eccentric orbit (e = 0.10) during the time of one planetary orbit in an isothermal disc (top) and in a fully radiative disc (bottom). One can clearly see that the torque changes according to the position of the planet to the central star, making it clear why the torques have to be averaged.
