The masses of compact object (black hole, neutron star) binaries depend strongly on the parameters describing stellar evolution. Such masses or their functions can be measured using gravitational waves or through microlensing searches. We analyze an example of the varying common envelope efficiency and show the dependence of distributions of the measured chirp masses in gravitational waves mass ratios through microlensing taking into account the relevant selection effects.
