Results of 1D simulations of an accretion disc with an embedded planet whose torque on the gas is based on the parametrisations of D’Angelo & Lubow (2010). Top panel: equilibrium relative gap height as a function of the planetary mass for three values of the viscous αv. The dashed lines mark the 50% relative gap height and the 85% relative gap height, the latter approximately corresponding to the pebble isolation mass. The dotted lines show the measuredpebble isolation mass and 50% gap mass. Bottom panel: pebble isolation mass (Miso) and the gap transition mass (Mgap) as a functionof αv. We find generally that Mgap ≈ 2.3Miso. The measured gap transition mass corresponds well to the 2D simulations of Kanagawa et al. (2018), while the measured pebble isolation mass is about a factor two lower than reported in Bitsch et al. (2018b) and displays a more consistent drop with lower αv.
