Summary of the event rates in our synthetic population at Solar metallicity (Z = 0.0142, Asplund et al. 2009). We quantify the rate of binaries that experience the following (from left to right): mass transfer (MT), common envelope (CE) events (a subset of previous, can only lead to ejections or mergers), CE ejections, and mergers. For each column, the outline (black) indicates all binaries in the population that go through the event, the bar (light blue) indicates binaries with a NS, and hatching indicates companions to the NS rejuvenated by previous stable MT. The y-axis is in logarithmic scale and it shows the number of systems of interest (N) normalised by the number of SNe (N_SNe, see Sect. 2.1.2 for more details).
