Notes. Number and frequency of possible isolated stars relative to nearby star clusters and OB associations and given the threshold distance of dthresh, 1 = 74 pc and dthresh, 2 = 204 pc. Method 1 takes into account only the de-projected positions of stars, clusters and OB associations, while method 2 considers stellar groups whose age difference is 5 Myr at most. The number of stars is 235 using a solar metallicity and an SMC-like extinction law.
