\begin{table}%t1
\caption{\label{tab:population-fractions}The fraction of each merger channel
which contributes to our synthetic, standard $Z=0.02$ {\rstar} population
as defined in Sect.~\ref{sub:R-star-formation-channels}. The left
column labels the channel (R1\ldots{}11), the middle
column the relative formation rate for each channel and the right
column the relative number of {\rstar}s (assuming a constant star
formation rate and the \citealt{KTG1993MNRAS-262-545K} IMF). The
missing channels do not contribute to our R star population
and channel R4 is not a merger (we identify these with the CH stars
and treat them separately, see Sect.~\ref{sub:Channels-R3-and-R4}). }
