Fraction of systems that merge within a Hubble time, fmerge, that remain bound after SN, fbound, and that are disrupted by the SN kick, fdisrupt, in six post-CE evolutionary scenarios of binaries with the 1.4 M and 5.0 M companions. The six scenarios are as follows: (i) no mass transfer after the CE and SN kicks; (ii) our default scenario of non-conservative (β = 1.0) mass transfer with final mass M1 = 2.0 M and SN kicks; (iii) same as the default scenario (ii) but with slower NS kicks from a Maxwellian with σkick = 50 km s−1; (iv) same as the default scenario but assuming an orbital separation after the CE that is smaller by one-third; (v) same as (iv) but with an orbital separation that is smaller by two-thirds; (vi) same as the default scenario but assuming a final mass of M1 = 1.6 M.
