Fig. 7.
Eccentricity variation as a function of time in three systems that lead the inner binary to merge. Top panel: triple in which the inner binary undergoes typical KL oscillations. Central panel: case where KL oscillations vary in phase and amplitude over time. Bottom panel: case of a disrupted triple, with the inner binary evolution driven solely by GW emission.
