Example of N-body runs. The periapsis separation of the binary to the MBH was set to rp, out = 5rbt. When rp, in/(R1 + R2) < 1 systems are considered to have merged. i0 = 90fdg6 corresponds to m1 = 1 M, m2 = 0.8 M, a1 = 0.38 AU; i0 = 79° corresponds to m1 = 3 M, m2 = 3 M, and a1 = 0.45 AU; i0 = 104fdg1 corresponds to m1 = 1 M, m2 = 0.6 M, a1 = 0.26 AU.
