Summary of IMF variations used in this paper.

IMF	Top-heavy	Canonical	Bott.-heavy	Bott.-heavy
	MKDP	CAN	SAL	vDC

α ₁	1.3	1.3	2.3	3.0
α ₂	2.3	2.3	2.3	3.0
α ₃	0.6–2.3	2.3	2.3	3.0

Notes. The α-coefficients are defined by Eq. (1). The MKDP IMF depends on the initial stellar mass of the system according to Eq. (3).
