Abstract (from CDS):

Recent high angular resolution ALMA observations have revealed rich information about protoplanetary discs, including ubiquitous substructures and three-dimensional gas kinematics at different emission layers. One interpretation of these observations is embedded planets. Previous 3D planet-disc interaction studies are either based on viscous simulations or non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations with simple prescribed magnetic diffusivities. This study investigates the dynamics of gap formation in 3D non-ideal MHD discs using non-ideal MHD coefficients from the look-up table that is self-consistently calculated based on the thermochemical code. We find a concentration of the poloidal magnetic flux in the planet-opened gap (in agreement with previous work) and enhanced field-matter coupling due to gas depletion, which together enable efficient magnetic braking of the gap material, driving a fast accretion layer significantly displaced from the disc mid-plane. The fast accretion helps deplete the gap further and is expected to negatively impact the planet growth. It also affects the corotation torque by shrinking the region of horseshoe orbits on the trailing side of the planet. Together with the magnetically driven disc wind, the fast accretion layer generates a large, persistent meridional vortex in the gap, which breaks the mirror symmetry of gas kinematics between the top and bottom disc surfaces. Finally, by studying the kinematics at the emission surfaces, we discuss the implications of planets in realistic non-ideal MHD discs on kinematics observations.
