Caption: Figure 2.

Snapshots of the circumbinary disk surface density for a sample of the Mach numbers and binary eccentricities studied in this work. The binaries are shown here at pericenter. Tick markings are spaced in increments of the binary semimajor axis. Each case illustrates the fluid after 1800 orbital periods of the binary.
