Characteristic properties of outflows from the neutron-star remnant for the fiducial ξTS = 1 case. The meridional plane is shown at time ﹩\bar{t}=184\,{\rm{ms}}﹩. Left to right: inverse plasma beta, β−1, magnetic-field strength, ∣B∣, poloidal-field strength, ﹩| {B}^{{\rm{pol}}}| =\sqrt{{B}^{2}-{B}_{\phi }{B}^{\phi }}﹩, entropy per baryon, s, and the asymptotic Lorentz factor, W∞, of unbound material at infinity. Streamlines in the ∣B∣ and W∞ panels indicate the poloidal magnetic-field and velocity-field structures, respectively. Cyan contours represent densities ρ of 1014, 1013, 1012, 1011, and 1010 g cm−3.
