Caption: Figure 3.

The eccentricity growth rate (upper) and the precession rate (lower) as a function of the disk outer radius for the linear models with surface density profile Σ ∝ r−1/2. The left panel shows H/r = 0.02 and the right panel shows H/r = 0.03. The vertical dashed lines show the 3:1 resonance location for each of the four mass ratios.
