L2 escape e-folding time ($\tau =[n_{\mathrm{bin}}\sqrt{1+2\sqrt{7}}{]}^{-1}$)

For a small secondary-to-primary mass ratio, the unstable exponent at the outer collinear equilibrium is $n_{\mathrm{bin}}\sqrt{1+2\sqrt{7}}$. Its inverse is approximately $0.0634$ binary periods. Reaching a finite target distance takes this time multiplied by the logarithm of the ratio of final to initial unstable amplitudes.
