Snapshot of the positions and velocities of example simulations with N = 200. Velocity vectors of bound stars are highlighted in blue, and those of unbound stars in red. Counter-intuitive examples of (a) outward-pointing distant bound stars and (b) inward-pointing central unbound stars. Snapshot of the temporal development at (c) t = 2 Myr and (d) t = 10 Myr. Backtracking from the results at 10 Myr to 2 Myr considering only the stars within 6 pc from the cluster centre for (e) bound stars only and (f) unbound stars only. Same backtracking considering all the (g) bound stars and (h) unbound stars of the cluster. A film of the cluster dynamics and the backtracking can be found online.
