Dynamical TOV test: density on \(\pmb{(x, y)}\) plane. Two-dimensional rest-mass density distribution relative to the initial data maximum value on the equatorial \((x,y)\) plane at time \(t=4\text{,}485~M_{\odot}\) for the dynamical TOV test. The matter tails are even more extended in MP5 case compared with the Cowling test, EL5 instead preserves its behaviour at the stellar surface and exterior.
