Figure 31: Meridional plane density contours from the SMS collapse simulation of Saijo, Baumgarte,
Shapiro, and Shibata [259]. The contour lines denote densities , where is the
central density. The frames are plotted at ( , , ) = (a) (5.0628 × 10–4, 8.254 × 10–9,
10–7), (b) (2.50259, 1.225 × 10–4, 10–5), (c) (2.05360, 8.328 × 10–3, 5.585 × 10–7), (d) (2.50405,
3.425 × 10–2, 1.357 × 10–7). Here , , and are the time, dynamical time ( ,
where is the initial equatorial radius and is the mass), and rest mass. (Figure 15 of [259];
