contents We present photometric CCD observations of stars in four stellar trapezia ADS 15184, ADS 4728, ADS 2843, and ADS 16795. This study is performed on images obtained at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at San Pedro Mártir (OAN), Baja California, México. In this work we utilise aperture photometry to measure the $U$, $B$, $V$, $R$ and $I$ magnitudes of some of the stars in these dynamically unstable stellar clusters (trapezia). Using the $Q=(U-B)-0.72(B-V)$ parameter we obtained the spectral type of the studied stars as well as their distance to the Sun and their reddening. Slight differences between the $Q$-derived Spectral types and those listed in SIMBAD might be due to a different value, from $0.72$, for the slope of the reddening line on the two-colour diagram.
