Caption: Figure 5.

Left panel: angular distribution of the electron antineutrinos leaving the grid (3–5) ms after merger; θ is the angle with respect to the angular momentum vector, i.e., polar neutrinos are on the left, equatorial neutrinos on the right, and each bin covers the same surface area. Middle panel: neutrino luminosity in the high-resolution MC simulation and the M1 simulation. Right panel: average (number-weighted) energy of neutrinos leaving the computational grid in the same simulations.
