This claim must be just for O-type stars, since there are plenty of
other sorts of stars with periods longer/shorter than the values given.
In re NGC 2527, I have a file of the 45 or so stars in the area that have
been observed photometrically here:
ftp://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/ocpos/n2527.pos
This includes accurate coordinates for all the stars and BV photometry, so
one could make a plot from these to show the asterism Bill mentions.
Apparently the group is not a physical cluster.
