Evolution of the Density Profile
In the clip showing 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 the system merging at t ≈ 150 M. The formation of the apparent horizon occurs at t = 192 M. As the simulation progresses, we see all of the material falling into the black hole. After t = 250 M, the system settles down to a vacuum Kerr black hole with Jh/Mh2 ≈ 0.85 and no ambient disk.

Profile
The amplitude of the gravitational wavetrain from a compact binary system increases during the inspiral phase. As the black hole forms, the wavetrain reaches its peak amplitude, followed by a short ringdown phase.
