Effect of the CB disk and binary parameters on the final period and eccentricity of the orbit. All models are plotted for 5 different disk life times τ = 1 × 10⁴, 2.5 × 10⁴, 5 × 10⁴, 7.5 × 10⁴ and 1 × 10⁵ years. Panel A) Models with two different maximum disk masses: 10^-2 M_⊙ (blue squares) and 10^-3M_⊙ (red circles). Panel B) Models with a different disk viscosities: α_D = 0.1 (blue squares) and 0.01 (red circles). Panel C) Models with two different disk surface mass distributions: σ(r) ~ r^-2 (blue squares) and σ(r) ~ r^-1 (red circles). Panel D) Models with three different values for mass loss parameter δ: 0.1 (blue squares), 0.2 (red circles) and 0.3 (green stars). Panel E) Models with three different initial orbital periods: P_i = 600 d (blue squares), 650 d (red circles) and 700 d (green stars). Panel F) Models for three different companion masses: M_a = 0.8 M_⊙ (red circles), 1.0 M_⊙ (blue squares) and 1.15 M_⊙ (green stars). See Sects. 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 for discussion.
