Snapshots of slices in the ɀ-direction from the simulation of an erosive merger between two evolved 5 MJ clumps colliding with b = 0.3 and υίmp/υesc = 1.5. Since the collision is oblique, spiral structures are emerging but are then falling back onto the bound remnant until it reaches a spherically symmetric equilibrium state containing 72% of the initial total mass.
