Sketch illustrating perturbed vortensity around planet’s vicinity (black circle) with relevant flows and torques highlighted: the inner and outer spiral density waves inducing the Lindblad torque, horseshoe U-turns ahead of and behind the planet leading to the static corotation torque, and the librating and orbit-crossing flows giving rise to the dynamical corotation torque.
