Notes. If ranges are given in brackets, it means the corresponding values are sampled in a Monte Carlo approach from the given interval. The updated Forgan & Rice mode. ’Towards a population synthesi‘s model of self-gravitating disc fragmentation and tidal downsizing II: the effect of fragment-fragment interactions’, is not included in a separate row. However, the differences are explained. See text for further explanations.
