A planet of low mass orbiting in a two-dimensional gaseous disc generates a
one-armed spiral wake. We explain this phenomenon as the result of constructive
interference between wave modes in the disc, somewhat similar to the Kelvin
wedge produced in the wake of a ship. The same feature is not expected in a
three-dimensional disc with thermal stratification.
