Relative estimates of merger-induced mass loss and the semilatus rectum threshold between stellar mergers and scatterings, for orbits with initial eccentricity of 1.01. Considering EMS masses from 103 to 104 M⊙ and companion masses from 5 to 500 M⊙. Left plot: Ratio of the maximum merger-induced mass loss to the EMS mass. Right plot: Ratio of the maximum initial semilatus rectum for a stellar merger to the EMS radius.
