Fig. 3.

Gas column density of the disk around UX Tau A being gravitationally perturbed by UX Tau C. The orbit of the perturber is in the plane of the sky and the disk is inclined by 40° with PA = 167°, as in the observations. The letters F- and B- label flyby and bound orbit models, respectively. The morphology of the spirals and the current projected distance between the stars suggest that UX Tau C is on an unbound orbit. We note that increasing the outer disk radius for a flyby (as in F90-a100) renders the spirals denser and brighter in scattered light, as they capture more disk material. In each panel, the position (separation, PA) and relative motion (proper motion, relative Vrad) of UX Tau C are compatible with observations. Videos of F90−a100 and B90−e075 are available online.
