Selection of pebble trajectories for a given initial phase angle for the fiducial model with a mass ratio of 2, to illustrate the accretion advantage for the secondary. Left panel: pebbles enter the Hill radius (dashed circle) from the top and approach the binary center of mass in the middle of the panel. Gray trajectories miss the entire system, blue ones accrete onto the secondary and red ones onto the primary. Right panel: zoom in on the trajectories shown in the left panel. The hits on the secondary are indicated with the blue crosses at point of impact. It clearly illustrates the accretion advantage for the smaller body due to close encounters and spirals. Additionally, we show the more massive body in the center (dark red solid circle) with a direct hit of a pebble (dark red trajectory). The trajectories are from different times and are plotted in one panel only for illustration.
