Period distributions:
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) S12 (O7-O9) 0.65 13.3%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) A17 (O3-O9.7) 0.24 80.1%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) K14 (B0-B2) 0.29 78.1%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) BBC (B0-B5) 0.28 60.3%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) A90 (B2-B5) 0.24 91.6%

Eccentricity distributions:
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) S12 (O7-O9) 0.30 99.2%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) A17 (O3-O9.7) 0.55 0.1%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) K14 (B0-B2) 0.28 80.1%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) BBC (B0-B5) 0.31 40.9%
NGC 6231 (B0-B9) A90 (B2-B5) 0.27 79.2%

Notes. Samples compared are the NGC 6231 B-type stars, NGC 6231 O stars (S12), and results from the TMBM (A17), BBC (Villaseñor et al. 2021), Cygnus OB2 (K14) and field B-type stars (A90). D is the Kuiper D number and dpp is the probability that a value as large as D would occur if data was drawn from the given distribution. The spectral sub-type range is given in the brackets next to the ID of each sample.
