Notes. Results are shown for the system with a 14.1 M_⊙ BH and an initial period of 2344 days which is described in Sect. 3.3. The default choices for the numerical parameters are Ṁ_high= 1 M_⊙ yr⁻¹, Ṁ_low = 10⁻⁵ M_⊙ yr⁻¹, and δ = 0.02. The variations of these parameters that we consider correspond to varying Ṁ_high and Ṁ_low by up to a factor of 4, and modifying δ to 0.001 and 0.04. For each case, the first two columns show the mass and separation of the system at the onset of CE, while the rest of the columns show the resulting core mass M_core, binding energy E_bind, and post-CE separation a_post CE derived by the simulations for both α_CE = 1 and α_CE = 0.1.
