Fig. 3 The calculated dimensionless relative distances $R_{m}^{d}$ [(a), (b)] and orbital rotation periods $ P_{\rm orb}^{d}$ [(c), (d)] as functions of mass asymmetry at $R_{m}>R_{t}=R_1+R_2$ and $n=3$. The plots [(a), (c)] and [(b), (d)] correspond to the systems with the parallel and antiparallel orbital and spin angular momenta, respectively.
