Figure 8. Top row: large-scale three-dimensional distribution of the charge density for the s6 binary in the early inspiral phase at t = 89M (left panel), at the merger t = 672M (middle panel), and at ringdown t = 800M (right panel). In these panels only the largest values of the charge density are shown. Bottom row: three-dimensional distribution of the charge density at ringdown only, t = 800M . Starting from the left, the panels show smaller and smaller values of the charge density, revealing a much more extended conical-shaped structure with a double-helical distribution of opposite charges. Clearly, charge-density distribution is far more complex than what would be deduced from the top panels only.
