Fig. 15
Time needed for gap opening as a function of the planetary mass for α = 2 × 10−2 and h = 0.05. Panels represent the same quantities as in Fig. 14. For these disc parameters, the gap-opening mass and time of the accreting planets do not follow predictions for the fixed-mass planets. Gas accretion is, therefore, the dominant phenomenon for gap formation.
