Fig. 15.

Initial distribution of inclinations of the different channels normalised to unity. Systems in which the primary initiates a mass transfer phase (blue) show no stronge bias towards a certain inclination, however, the subset with wide initial orbits (ain >  5000 R) that would not experience mass transfer without the presence of the tertiary are biased towards high initial inclinations. Systems in which the secondary initiates a mass transfer phase (orange) are preferentially found at high inclination, whereas systems in which the tertiary initiates mass transfer (green) or there is no mass transfer (purple) preferentially avoid high inclinations. The subsection of the latter that experiences LKCTF are shown as the dashed purple line. The figure is based on model OBin. Model T14 and E09 have similar distributions.
