Sharpness of inner and outer slopes as a function of distance from the host star. The slopes are measured with a double power law or triple power law (αin and αout), while the central radii are measured with a double power law (Rc) or multiple Gaussians (R). For discs with multiple rings, only the innermost ring is plotted on the left and only the outermost ring is plotted on the right; for discs with halos, only the main planetesimal belts are plotted. This is due to the limitations of power-law parametrisations. The colours indicate the age of the system (Table A.2 in Matrà et al. 2025), while the marker shapes indicate the resolution of the ARKS observations (Table 2 in Marino et al. 2026). Discs with median power-law indices greater than 15 - the cut-off for pure planet sculpting of the inner edge - are indicated by arrows for both plots. We note that the x-error bars on the steepest discs are too small to be seen.
