Midplane temperature (top) and disks’ aspect ratio (bottom) as a function of radial distance from the host star for 2D simulations for the nominal and Lm cases (left and right, respectively). The red lines include the effect of stellar irradiation. The other simulations have no stellar heating and differ in the boundary temperature, T_b, at disk’s surface. The value of T_b that allows us to recover the profile of the stellar irradiated disk is used for 3D simulations of in the rest of the paper. Horizontal dotted lines in the top plots correspond to the values of T_b in the simulations. The vertical black dotted line marks the position of a Jupiter-mass planet in the paper.
