Notes. The third-to-last row shows the percentage of merging binaries with a GW coalescence timescale (tGW) of the final binary of less than a Hubble time (tHubble ≡ 1.4 × 1010 yr). The second-to-last and the last rows show the percentage of highly eccentric mergers (e > 0.1) at fGW = 10 Hz in proportion to the total number of interactions and in-cluster mergers, respectively. The first two rows indicate the initial mean relative velocity between the binary–single and binary fraction, respectively.
