Accretion rate history and disc radial profiles in the PD model. Top: stellar mass accretion rate history (blue line) during a short evolutionary time period when the planet is disrupted and the accretion burst is initiated. The red line shows the rate of mass loss by the planet. Vertical dashed lines mark the beginning and end of the burst. Middle and bottom: temporal evolution of the surface density and temperature distribution during the burst. The vertical dashed line shows the position of the planet at the moment of disruption.
