Orientation of the angular momentum of the gas enclosed in a sphere of radius 0.01 pc (~0.25″). The vertical dimension represents inclination i, while the horizontal dimensions stand for the longitude of the ascending node Ω. Thus, a face-on star orbiting clockwise on the sky would be at the north pole of the graph. Top and bottom panels show the runs WR_f07 and WR_f1, respectively. Each dot corresponds to the analysis of a single snapshot. As a reference, the orientation of the orbital angular momentum of the mass-losing stars is shown as black star symbols, and the grey shaded region corresponds to the average direction of the clockwise disc at (104°, 126°) with a dispersion of 16° (Yelda et al. 2014).
