[net.physics] "Births of stars and their orbits"

CSvax:Pucc-H:Physics:els@pur-ee.UUCP (06/15/83)

    Don't forget that these stars have had ~5 billion years in which to get
scattered. (That's 25 galactic orbits!)  This ought to be enough time for
both internal and external interaction to disperse our 'cousins'.  Also,
many of the sun's partners are probably red dwarfs and can't be seen from
very far away.
