Graphical representation of the mass-transfer regimes. The white region indicates no mass transfer, i.e., the system is detached. The light blue region corresponds to partial RLOF, where mass transfer occurs during part of the orbit. The light-brown region represents full RLOF, with continuous mass transfer throughout the entire orbit. The orange, blue, and red lines correspond to the isotropic reemission, Jeans, and orbital-AML modes, respectively. The black and gray lines represent the L2 mass-loss mode for β = 0 (fully nonconservative MT) and β = 0.91 (highly conservative MT), respectively. The circles and triangles indicate the initial and final positions of the systems, respectively. The final position for the blue line is x ≈ 80, but we limited the y-axis for visualization purposes.
