Density (in g/cm³) of a r − θ-slice through the disc at the azimuth of an embedded 10 M_Jup planet on a fixed circular inclined orbit with i₀ = 1.0° (top), i₀ = 20° (middle), and i₀ = 75.0° (bottom). The planet is at its lowest point in orbit (lower culmination) at the time of the snapshot, which was taken after 400 planetary orbits. We note the slightly different colour scale for each plot. The black line indicates the midplane of the grid to which the inclination of the disc is measured (see Sect. 3.2).
