Normalised scattered-light images for an eccentric companion with e_b = 0.5, at periastron (left), and at apoastron (right). We note that this apoastron distance is 1095 au, so that the companion is located outside of the field of the view in the right panel. The colour scale is the same as in Fig. 3. An animated version of this figure, showing the disc’s evolution over one binary orbit is available online.
