CPD for NGC 3532 comparing the Prot reported by D. J. Fritzewski et al. (2021a) and our measurements. The filled red circles show literature Prot for stars where we obtained a Prot, while the open red circles show literature Prot for stars where we did not. The filled blue circles show our 41 newly measured Prot that disagreed by >15% with the D. J. Fritzewski et al. (2021a) Prot. Black lines connect our measurements and the D. J. Fritzewski et al. (2021a) periods when our Prot is shorter. Dashed lines are used for the opposite case. In most cases where the Prot measurements disagree significantly, we measured a Prot that is much more rapid than that in D. J. Fritzewski et al. (2021a), suggesting that a fraction of our measurements remain impacted by blending.
