Schematic illustration of the gravitational forces and torques acting on the ejected clump from the target star and the intruder. Three consecutive times similar to those in the middle row of Fig. 2 are chosen. The clump orbits the host star in the counter-clockwise direction. The red and green arrows show the gravity forces acting on the ejected clump from the target star and intruder, respectively. The yellow square marks the center of mass of the host star and the intruder (including their disks outlined by the red and green circles) and the dashed yellow line represents the lever arm applied to calculate the torques. The gravitational torques acting on the ejected clump from the host star τ_∗ (positive) and the intruder τ_int (negative) are shown by the curved red and green arrows, respectively. The sum of the torques acting on the clump is always positive and its numerical value is provided in the bottom of each panel.
