Notes.

^(a)

The initial masses refer to the 4 Myr Padova isochrone (Marigo et al. 2008).

^(b)

Number of field stars removed solely by the red colour-cut (see left panel Fig. B.1).

^(c)

Number of field stars removed based on their proper motion, but redder than the red colour-cut.

^(d)

Number of field stars removed based on their proper motion within the blue and the red colour-cut.

^(e)

Estimated number of contaminating stars.

^(f)

Number of spectroscopically identified M, K supergiants within the proper motion member sample after the colour-cut.

^(g)

Number of proper motion cluster members after the colour-cut. Unlike in the final cluster sample, the spectroscopically identified M, K supergiants are not removed.

^(h)

The number of contaminants includes n_cont and n_M,K (see text).
