\paragraph{Parameters - SFR, IMF and z}  The authors assume a constant Star Formation Rate (0-12Gyr) and a time independent IMF as per \cite{kroupa} . The metallicity parameter [Fe/H] is must be held  constant for the duration of a BSE code run (i.e. it is age-independent and uniform) so the authors combined several runs with different upper and lower IMF limits in order to mimic the observed [Fe/H] distributions. \paragraph{Parameters - orbit-sizes, mass-ratios, eccentricities}  \label{par:_f_a_q_e_}
