Caption: Figure 2.

Snapshot of the MC simulation with the largest number of packets, 5 ms after merger. We show the density (left panels), temperature (middle panels), and electron fraction (right panels) in the equatorial plane (top row) and a vertical slice passing through the center of the remnant (bottom row). We can see the post-merger hypermassive neutron star at the center of the figures, surrounded by a dense torus. Low-density outflows are launched mostly along the edges of the torus.
