Below are animations to accompany selected figures in the paper.
These have been updated since the original publication to make them clearer, and the scaling of the cores more appropriate.
References in the manuscript to red and yellow particles now become yellow and orange, green and blue become magenta and blue.
A tar archive containing all these animations is available here.
The original versions are available here.
