Scientific paper

In Type I planetary migration, the planet excites a wake in the circumstellar disk, which in turn tends to drive the planet inwards towards the central star at a timescale much faster than the timescale required for planet formation. Here we consider the effect of a trapped azimuthal mode of the wake near the edge or gap of a protoplanetary disk. We show that under certain conditions wave trapping can stall the process of Type I migration.
