For the binary runs the authors make simplifying first assumption that the function $f(a,q,e)$ is separable and assign 3 ad-hoc analytic formulae respectively to the functions $f(a)$ - initial orbit-sizes, $f(q)$ - initial mass ratios and $f(e)$ - initial eccentricities.  \paragraph{}  All parameters for the BSE code are were  kept at the defaults their default values  and in order to handle brown dwarfs with a mass  below $0.08 M_{\odot}$ the authors use used  an extra data grid due to from  Baraffe et al. (1998). \paragraph{}  For orbital periods above 5 years, each binary component is evolved separately and a binary is made from two single-star models (S+S) using approximations given by Hurley et al. (2000).
