Slices through the ejecta 100 s after the explosion in the plane of rotation of the binary system (top rows) and perpendicular to it (bottom rows). At this time the ejecta are fully in homologous expansion. The panels show the density in the top-left panel, and mass fractions of different isotopes are shown in the other panels. The open circle indicates the centre of the ejecta. The filled white circle appears where the material of the bound remnant is located, which has been removed here. The structures look very similar to older violent merger simulations, showing a clear global asymmetry and material originating from the secondary white dwarf close to the centre.
