Abstract
Trapezium type multiple systems are one of the youngest systems in the galaxy. Ambartsumian (1954) regards many of the Trapezium-type multiple systems as having positive total energy.
The examination of Table I, compiled from theAbastumani Catalogue of Trapezia (Salukvadze, 1978; Povedaet al., 1977) and theIndex Catalogue of Visual Binary Stars, shows that real trapezia are met among multiple stars with their primaries of O and B spectral types.
