Physical separation (top) and binding energy (bottom) as a function of system total mass. In the bottom panel, sizes are proportional to the physical separation from the primary. Red open circles highlight in both panels the most fragile pairs ( in the upper panel two of the datapoints overlap, as they share a common ℳT and roughly equal separation.) The grey dashed lines mark the maximum separation, s, for expected survival in the case of 100, 10, and 1 Ga (from top to bottom). The red horizontal dashed lines mark the representative limits of 104 au (top) and 1034 J (bottom).
