Change in orbital separation for destabilised triples that unfold into a binary and single star. The x-axis shows the orbital separation of the inner orbit at the onset of the instability, and the y-axis shows the post-interaction orbital separation of the binary. The results of the pure N-body simulations are shown in the top panel, those of simulations that include stellar evolution are shown on the bottom. The black dash-dotted line represents no change in the orbital separation. The figure shows that besides adiabatic wind mass losses leading to orbital widening, ejecting a star from the inner orbit also tends to lead to orbital widening (see text). The two panels represent model OBin. Model T14 and E09 show qualitatively similar trends.
