Figure 8: Isodensity contours for QE models of NS-NS binaries. In each case, the two NSs have
masses (left) and (right), and the center-of-mass separation is as
small as the QE numerical methods allow while able to find a convergent result. The models assume
different EOS, resulting in different central concentrations and tidal deformations. Image reproduced
