... is quite violent and rapid, occurring within about 1000 years. Therefore, we must ask whether or not it is plausible to find four runaway stars among 44 trapezia. Trapezia may also evolve dynamically in a less violent way, if they start out from a virialized state (Allen et al. 1974b). In this case, ...
