Density slices through the center of the cloud at t = 2/3t_ff for three different black hole mass models. The clouds are stretched in the direction of motion with increasing black hole mass, but compressed in the direction perpendicular to this. The black hole masses are 10⁶   M_⊙ for model M 04 (left panel), 10⁷   M_⊙ for model M 01 (middle panel), and 10⁸   M_⊙ for model M 25 (right panel). The white arrow shows the direction of the orbital motion.
