Caption: Figure 7.

Stability criterion applied to the bound triple systems at an age of 1 Myr. Red points (15,524) represent stable triple systems, while green points (62,609) represent unstable triples. Systems are stable if the distant body does not get near enough to the inner binary to induce perturbations to the orbital elements. See the text for details.
