Escape probabilities and the total mass distribution of mergers for different depletion prescriptions. Top: the escape probability as a function of the kick velocity for “light” (blue curve, ﹩{\mu }_{M}=5\times {10}^{4}{M}_{\odot }﹩, ﹩{\mu }_{{r}_{0}}=10﹩ pc, ﹩{\sigma }_{M}={\sigma }_{{r}_{0}}=1﹩) and “heavy” clusters (orange curve, ﹩{\mu }_{M}=5\times {10}^{5}{M}_{\odot }﹩, ﹩{\mu }_{{r}_{0}}=5﹩ pc, ﹩{\sigma }_{M}={\sigma }_{{r}_{0}}=1﹩). Bottom: the total mass distribution for no depletion (red), “light” cluster depletion (black), and “heavy” cluster depletion (blue). The coupling parameters are set to ﹩a=2,b=0﹩.
