Notes. Hierarchical triple models with their characteristic input values. The model names are set in such a way that the characteristics can be deduced from it, with ‘v…’ denoting the input wind velocity in km s−1, ‘m…’ the mass of the third companion multiplied by a factor of 10 in M, and ‘ei…’ and ‘eo…’ the value of the non-zero eccentricity of the inner and outer orbit, respectively, multiplied by a factor of 100. (ao/ai)|crit gives the critical ratio of the outer to inner semi-major axis below which the system is expected to become unstable according to the stability criterion of Mardling & Aarseth (2001) (Eq. (1)), with ao/ai = 35/5 = 7 > (ao/ai)|crit for all models. εi and εo are the morphological classification parameters for the inner and outer orbit, calculated from Eq. (2), following the definition introduced by Maes et al. (2021).
