Evolution in the eccentricity-period diagram of systems that follow standard binary evolution. The dashed red line indicates the evolution of the orbit between the initial orbital parameters (grey rectangles) and the orbital parameters of the system when core-He burning starts (red symbols). Open grey rectangles represent systems where the primary does not ignite helium in the core because it leaves the RGB prematurely. Each panel corresponds to a different primary initial mass.
