Caption: Figure 33.
Semi-major axis distribution of the outer components in triple systems consisting of a BD binary bound to a star, at 1, 10, and 100 Myr. These are the same systems as in Figure 32. The figure shows that the majority of BD binaries that remain bound to stars are having semimajor axes of a 1000 AU or larger.
