Radial profile of convolved and unconvolved images at λ = 1.3 mm with different beam sizes 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 vfrag = 1 m s−1. The different beams investigated range from 0.02′′ × 0.02′′ = 2.8 AU × 2.8 AU (left) to 0.1′′ × 0.1′′ = 14 AU × 14 AU (right). We present the fiducial resolution (0.04′′ × 0.04′′ = 5.6 AU × 5.6 AU) in the middle panel for comparison. Each beam is represented by a horizontal line in the upper-right corner of each panel. Orange regions represent the substructures produced by traffic jams, clearly visible in the Three-Giants configuration. The different profiles show that the highest resolution is really needed to start to correctly represent the features of the dust disk.
