Adiabatic accretion with erot = 0.3: x-y rotational plane cross-section (2 kpc2) of the mass-weighted temperature at final time; the normalization of the velocity field is 2000 km s-1 (such unit arrow is 1/8 of the image width). The gas progressively circularizes toward the equatorial plane, stifling accretion. Within the Bondi radius, the pressure-supported toroidal structure is variable, experiencing recurrent mild expansions and contractions, thus forming the pinwheel configuration.
