Figure 13: Ultrarelativistic outflow from the remnant of the merger of a neutron-star–binary system.
The figure shows the gamma-ray burst model B01 from [8] corresponding to a time
after the start of the energy deposition, at a rate of . The grid resolution in
this axisymmetric simulation is . The outflow in the white-colored regions in the left
panel (closer to the black hole), magnified in the right panel, achieves Lorentz factors of ,
with terminal values of about 1000. See [8] for further details. (Figure used with permission.)
