Snapshots of the hydrodynamic simulations of the Wolf-Rayet stars (white asterisks) feeding Sgr A* (white disk) in the central parsec. The maps show density squared integrated along the line of sight in square-root scale, that is, [∫ρ2dz]1/2, i.e., the expected Brackett-γ flux. Each panel represents a simulation run with different wind speeds from IRS 16SW: 300 km s−1 (top), 400 km s−1 (bottom left), and 600 km s−1 (bottom right). The production of clumps on the scale shown here is dominated by IRS16 SW. The snapshots were created with Splash (Price 2007).
