Possible model of the motions of the θ 1 Ori B group. Here we show a lucy deconvolved image of the z′ image. We make an assumption that all the orbits are circular and plot possible orbital solutions for each component's orbit about B 1 based on this rough assumption. We also plot the actual observed orbital "arcs" imaged so far over the last 15 yr for the system. Clearly the orbits are still undefined, but this plot gives some insight into the nature of the system.
