TL;DR
This study presents evidence that the eclipsing disk in EE Cep has a multi-ring structure, potentially caused by planet formation processes, based on extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that the gaps in the disk are related to possible planet formation, supported by observational data.
Findings
Disk has a multi-ring structure
Gaps in the disk may indicate planet formation
Observational evidence supports the multi-ring hypothesis
Abstract
The photometric and spectroscopic observational campaign organized for the 2008/9 eclipse of EE Cep revealed features, which indicate that the eclipsing disk in the EE Cep system has a multi-ring structure. We suggest that the gaps in the disk can be related to the possible planet formation.
