Cumulative distributions of the initial radial positions of stars with initial masses in the range 1.71–1.74 M_⊙ that would have evolved into RGB stars by 1.2 Gyr but escaped the cluster prior to this time. The green curve shows 1P escapers (N = 33 out of a total of 77 such stars in the initial model), and the blue curve shows 2P escapers (N = 15 out of a total of 40). The distributions demonstrate that 2P escapers originate predominantly from the inner regions of the cluster, whereas 1P escapers are drawn from a much broader radial range. This provides direct evidence that centrally concentrated 2P RGB progenitors are preferentially removed from the central parts of the cluster.
