Scientific paper

This paper continues an earlier study of giant planet migration, examining
the effect of planet mass and disc viscosity on the migration rate. We find
that the migration rate of a gap-opening planet varies systematically with the
planet's mass, as predicted in our earlier work. However, the variation with
disc viscosity appears to be much weaker than expected.
