Figure 2.
Image of the surface density of the disc around an MBHB with mass ratio $q=0.01$ (left) and $q=0.1$ (right), accreting from a circumbinary gas disc. The image is from a simulation snapshot taken well after the disc is viscously relaxed but before the binary separation has been reduced much from $a_0$. The axes show the $x-y$ plane in units of $a_0$.
