Figure 8: Isodensity contours for QE models of NS-NS binaries. In each case, the two NSs have masses M1 = 1.15M ⊙ (left) and M2 = 1.55M ⊙ (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 by permission from Figures 9 – 12 of [305], copyright by AAS.
