Column density plots of the circumbinary disk and the disks around the binary components (shown by the white circles). The view is of the xy plane (i.e., the binary orbital plane), and the density has been integrated through z. The color scale spans about 3 orders of magnitude in density and is the same for all plots. The green dashed circle corresponds to the initial binary orbit, and the cyan dashed circle corresponds to the location of the strongest Lindblad resonance, i.e., 2.08a.
