Caption: Fig. 3.

Same as for Fig. 1, for the systems EQ Tau and KZ Vir. EQ Tau is a relatively inconspicuous system close in the sky to the Pleiades. It is most likely behind the cluster and appears to have an exceptionally large spatial velocity. This is indicated also by the large center‐of‐mass velocity, V0, as shown in the figure. KZ Vir is probably a close but noncontact system of two similar, distorted stars.
