Corotation Torque

Corotation Torque is a gravitational interaction torque exerted on a migrating planet by gas located near its corotation radius in a protoplanetary disk, distinguished by its dependence on the gradient of the disk’s vortensity and entropy, and arising from material co-orbiting with the planet.
