Introduction


Fig. 1-1 Initial Configuration of Binary

Evolution is performed on a 604x604 multiple-transition fisheye adaptive grid. In this simulation, the initial binary coordinate separation is D/M = 5.41, and the initial angular momentum of the system is J/M2 = 0.629.


Evolution of the Density Profile

In the clip from the equatorial plane, the rest-mass density of the neutron star is plotted on a logarithmic scale normalized to the initial central density. The gravitational field is evolved via the BSSN scheme using "moving puncture" gauge conditions. The relativistic hydrodynamic equations are solved using a high-resolution shock-capturing (HRSC) method.

We see tidal disruption and the onset of accretion after approximately 0.5 orbits (t ≈ 50 M), with matter flowing in a narrow stream through the inner Lagrange point and into the black hole. The accretion flow then accelerates as the NS is consumed by the black hole. Later, at t ≈120 M, we see the beginnings of mass loss outward into a disk through the outer Lagrange point, but the mass stream is quite tenuous. At the end of our simulation (t = 210 M) the fraction of the rest (baryon) mass inside the apparent horizon is greater then 97%.
