Snapshots of the gas density (left column) and temperature (right column) in the orbital (x − y) plane from model A (instantaneously accelerated winds) at φ = 0.5 (upper panels), 1.0 (middle panels), and 1.1 (lower panels). The orbital motion of the stars is calculated in the centre of mass frame. At apastron (φ = 0.5) the WR star is to the right, and the O star is to the left, of the image centre. The motion of the stars proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction. All plots show a region of  ± 1.2 × 1014cm – large axis tick marks correspond to a distance of 5    ×    1013cm.
