Fig. 12.

Metallicity of the companion stars as a function of the companion mass after at the binary sdB formation time. The box plot shows the average metallicity with an orange line, the 1-sigma range with a box and the 3-sigma range with whiskers. It may be seen that the present-day metallicity and companion masses of sdB binaries are correlated, according to our model.
