Dynamical ejecta and spiral-wave wind data


We release dynamical ejecta and spiral-wave wind data from about 70 binary neutron star merger simulations of

Data are relased on ZENODO

Included data:

  • Table1.txt: Table 1 of the paper in a machine-readable format
  • [model].tar: ejecta data for individual simulations.

We provide ejecta properties (for all ejecta types) as:

  • total_flux.dat: angle integrated outflow rate and cumulated ejecta mass.
  • hist_entropy.dat: histogram of the ejecta as a function of the entropy (in kb)
  • hist_vel_inf.dat: histogram of the ejecta as a function of the asymptotic velocity (in units of c)
  • hist_Y_e.dat: histogram of the ejecta as a function of the electron fraction Ye.
  • ejecta_profile.dat: time-integrated ejecta profiles as a function of the polar angle.
  • hist_vinf_theta.h5: histograms of the ejecta as a function of the asymptotic velocity and the polar angle.
  • corr_Y_e_theta.h5: histograms of the ejecta as a function of the asymptotic velocity and the polar angle.
  • ejecta.h5: histograms of the ejecta as a function of Ye, entropy, and expansion timescale tau.

Additionally, for each model we provide

  • Initial data generated with LORENE
  • Parameter file of the simulation

For the multidimensional histograms the indices are ordered as specified in the file name, ie the file hist_ye_theta.h5 tabulates the ejecta mass as a function of Ye (first index) and polar angle theta (second index).
