Figure 5. Evolution of the EM (top panel) and the GW luminosity (bottom panel) integrated over 2-spheres located, respectively, at r = 20, 100, and 180M . Thick lines refer to the diffused emission, while thin ones to the emission from a polar cap of 5◦ semi-opening angle; the data refer to the spinning s6 binary and both the EM and the GW luminosities are computed including modes up to the = 8 multipole. Note that the gravitational-wave zone is already well defined at 100M , while the EM one is not even at 180M .
