Radii of Roche lobes of BBHs and rotating velocity of the secondary BH at the orbital pericenter as a function of orbital eccentricity of the two BHs. The left and middle panels show the radii of Roche lobes ( R crit pri $ R_{\mathrm{crit}}^{\mathrm{pri}} $ and R crit sec $ R_{\mathrm{crit}}^{\mathrm{sec}} $) in units of the Schwarzschild radii for the primary ( R Sch pri $ R_{\mathrm{Sch}}^{\mathrm{pri}} $) and secondary ( R Sch sec $ R_{\mathrm{Sch}}^{\mathrm{sec}} $) BHs, respectively. The typical radius of the UV emission (rUV) in the accretion disk for a M = 108.6M is shown as a horizontal dashed line for comparison. The right panel presents the rotating velocity of the secondary BH at the pericenter ( V peri sec $ V_{\mathrm{peri}}^{\mathrm{sec}} $), which is the maximum velocity in each period. In each panel are shown the results of M•• = 108 (blue), 108.5 (green), and 109M (red) with Torb = 2 yr and qM = 0.5. Considering that the UV emission might disappear when Rcrit ≲ rUV, the current model configuration only focuses on those systems with Rcrit ≳ rUV, i.e., e ≲ 0.6 for M•• = 109M as a case study.
