Summary of three observed multiple systems in the Orion Trapezium Cluster. Middle: Orion nebula in the background and zoom on the Orion Trapezium Cluster (θ1) stars in the inset. Blue arrows mark the separation between FT and SC. Upper: orbit of θ1 Ori B6 around the eclipsing binary θ1 Ori B15 at the center. We use θ1 Ori A at a separation of 8.85 arcsec as the FT. Note that θ1 Ori B6 has completed more than one orbital revolution between 2017 and 2021. Left: orbit of θ1 Ori C2 around the primary star θ1 Ori C1 at the center. θ1 Ori C2 has completed more than two orbital revolutions. Literature data points are measurements taken from Weigelt et al. (1999), Schertl et al. (2003), Kraus et al. (2007, 2009), Patience et al. (2008), and Grellmann (2013). The observation was performed with θ1 Ori A at a separation of 12.86 arcsec as the FT. Right: orbit of θ1 Ori D3 around the primary star θ1 Ori D1 at the center. We use θ1 Ori C at a separation of 13.41 arcsec as the FT. θ1 Ori D3 has revolved 20 times between the first and last data point. Background image and zoom from ESO/M. McCaughrean et al. (AIP) 2001.
