Notes.Further explanation can be found in Appendix B. (1) Mass ratio threshold for delayed dynamical instability (Hjellming & Webbink 1987), dependent on evolutionary state of the donor. (2) RRL is the Roche radius of the donor star. (3) τ∗ = Characteristic timescale of mass transfer. Can be nuclear, Kelvin-Helmholtz, timescale of magnetic braking or of gravitational wave radiation.
