Notes. Given is ϵSF of the last model that did not result in successful gas expulsion, where ϵSF was varied in steps of 0.1, or 0 if all investigated models lead to gas expulsion. If the number is lower than 0.9, we give the gas removal timescale at a star formation efficiency higher by ΔϵSF,crit = 0.1 in units of the crossing time in brackets. .

Base 10 logarithm of the initial stellar mass of the cluster in solar masses.
