Fig. 3

Data are plotted as a function of neutron number N using the same colour scheme as in Fig. 2. For the DFT calculations, green squares are used for the Fy(std) functional and blue diamonds for the Fy(Δr) functional, while the VS-IMSRG calculations are displayed using red squares for the PWA interaction and orange diamonds for the EM1.8/2.0 interaction. Experimental error bars are statistical and represent one standard deviation. Error bars on the DFT calculations represent only the statistical contribution. The top panels compare to the OES of the binding energies, while the bottom panels show charge radii. The calculations in the left panels were performed with DFT, while the right panels show the VS-IMSRG results.
