Comparison of our merger rates (per galaxy h ₇₀ Gyr ⁻¹) under assumption of t _merge = t _{KW, i} at 0.03 < z < 0.15 with the estimated merger rates calculated by the "merger rate fitting function" of Stewart et al. (2009) at z = 0.1. The open diamonds on the thick lines are our results, and the horizontal thin lines are the best-fit results calculated from Table 1 of Stewart et al. (2009). The dashed lines show the results with mass ratios m/ M > 0.3, and the solid lines show the results with mass ratios m/ M > 0.6. Note that the results of Stewart et al. (2009) are estimated from a flat cosmology with a Hubble constant H ₀ ≡ 100  h km s ⁻¹ Mpc ⁻¹ and h = 0.7.
