Orbital eccentricity at 10 Hz (e10 Hz) as a function of the coalescence time (tcoal) of BBH mergers in YSCs (left), GCs (centre), and NSCs (right). Different colours indicate mergers through flybys and the two families of exchanges. The yellow stars show second-generation BBH mergers. The empty black dots highlight the BBH progenitors of second-generation mergers. The dashed vertical line divides the plot into two regions: up to 1 Myr we evolve the systems with ARWV, above 1 Myr all the dynamical interactions are concluded, and with Eq. (1) we stop the ARWV integration and evolve the remaining BBHs. The three insets show a zoom for mergers with e10 Hz > 0.1. We note that some of the points at e10 Hz ∼ 1 overlap.
