Hammer projections of the density and velocity divergence at different distances for the same time step. From top to bottom: we show larger and larger radii. The top left panel shows the same density as given in Fig. 7 together with the respective velocity vectors indicating the direction and magnitude of the motions perpendicular to the infall. This velocity field defines the velocity divergence on the right hand side which shows structures where material is compressed due to converging velocities in red. As one can see, during infall the gas forms less but more condensed structures the closer it gets to the central sink particle.
