Influence of gas accretion on the disc structure at the gap-opening mass for α = 10⁻⁴ and h = 0.05. Top: perturbed surface density profiles at gap-opening mass in the seven different gas accretion cases and in the fixed-mass case. For these disc parameters, the gap-opening mass is highly influenced by gas accretion, making the planet open a gap at a higher mass when the planetary gas accretion rate is enhanced. However, the resulting gap shape at gap-openingmass is independent on the gas accretion rate. The accreting planets show some differences when compared with the planet of a fixed mass. Bottom: pressure bumps at the gap-opening mass in the seven gas accretion cases and in the fixed-mass case. As the gap shapes are similar, the difference in the created pressure bumps is too small to be observable.
