Figure 11: Evolution of the total rest mass of the remnant disk (outside the BH horizon)
normalized to the initial value for NS-NS mergers using a polytropic EOS with differing
mass ratios and total masses. The order of magnitude of the mass fraction in the disk can be read
off the logarithmic mass scale on the vertical axis. The curves referring to different models have
been shifted in time to coincide at . Image reproduced by permisison from Figure 5 of [240],
