Interactive 3D layout of Kadath's Space_bin_ns domain decomposition for binary neutron stars. Drag to rotate · scroll to zoom. Every radius is computed from the Kadath source formulas.

The space is axisymmetric about the binary axis (x). Around each star: a nucleus (rin), an
outer adapted shell ending at the matter surface (rmid), and an inner adapted shell out to
rout. Five bispheric blocks fill the space between the stars out to rext, then one compactified
domain reaches spatial infinity.
