Histograms showing the average escape fraction (colour bar) as a function of the time since the last major merger for galaxies in the loc-mode with stellar masses M_⋆ = (10^6.8 − 10^7.2) M_⊙. The panels refer to dependence on the gas flow ℱ_gas (top left), the specific SFR (top right), the ratio of galactic gas and stellar mass (centre left), the ratio of the peak rotational velocity and the one dimensional velocity distribution (centre right), the metallicity of the galaxy normalised by the stellar mass (bottom left), and the distance between the centre of mass of the galactic gas and the centre of mass of the star-forming gas (bottom right). The dashed and dotted lines refer respectively to the one- and two-sigma distribution of galaxy counts, while the green line represents the average value of the given quantity of all galaxies in a given t_merger bin.
