\section{Population Synthesis parameters}  \label{sec:population_synthesis_parameters}  \paragraph{SFR, IMF and z}  \label{par:sfr_imf_and_z}  The authors assume a constant Star Formation Rate (0-12Gyr) and a time independent IMF \cite{soderhjelm}. Because the metallicity parameter for [Fe/H] in the BSE code is constant for the duration of the run (i.e. it is age-independent and uniform) the authors combined several runs with different upper and lower IMF limits in order to mimic the observed [Fe/H] distributions.   % paragraph sfr_imf_and_z (end)  \paragraph{$f(a, q, e)$}  \label{par:_f_a_q_e_}  For the binary runs the authors make simplifying first assumption that the function $f(a,q,e)$ is separable and assign 3 independent functions to $f(a)$, $f(q)$ and $f(e)$ respectively.  % paragraph _f_a_q_e_ (end)  % section population_synthesis_parameters (end)
