Period distributions of eclipsing-binary candidates with global rankings higher than 0.5 (>0.45 for Sample 2G-B). Samples 2G-D, 2G-X, 2G-Y, and 2GE-Z are excluded. The distributions of candidates satisfying these conditions towards the LMC and SMC, with sky position, proper motion, and parallax criteria taken from Mowlavi et al. (2019), are shown in blue and red, respectively. The distribution of the remaining sources satisfying these conditions is shown with the filled grey histogram. The distributions are normalised to their maximum values.
