Radial profile of convolved and unconvolved images at λ = 1.3 mm with the planet masses reduced by one-half and two-thirds in the Spread configuration (top row) and in the Three-Giants configuration (bottom row). In these simulations, the disk has the smaller aspect ratio and α = 10⁻⁴ with v_frag = 1 m s⁻¹. The intensity profiles are presented as in Fig. 4. The convolved profiles are convolved with a beam of 0.04′′ × 0.04′′ = 5.6 AU × 5.6 AU, represented with a black horizontal line in the upper-right corner of each panel. One can notice the similarities between each convolved profile, making it difficult to disentangle between each evolutionary stage and configuration. In the Three-Giants configuration, we highlight in orange the substructures outside of the giants’ region, originating in the traffic jams discussed in Sect. 3.1.
