Caption: Figure 10.

Animation of our simulation snapshots over 200 yr, illustrating the evolution of the disk and clumps under the influence of the planet and stellar wind. The labels (A)–(E) in the top-down view (top panel) mark five observer lines of sight indicated by angled carets representing the observer eye symbol. The bottom five panels show the corresponding edge-on configurations of the disk as seen from each of those lines of sight at a given time. The apparent morphologies of the disk and clumps vary substantially depending on the viewing geometry.
