Extract

Clusters containing cepheids, and especially clusters containing more than one cepheid, provide information on the advanced evolutionary stages of massive stars, and on the factors which influence the period-frequency relations and lifetimes of cepheids. NGC 1866, in the LMC, is already well known in this respect. NGC 2010 was found by Hodge to contain two cepheids. Two more variables have been found in this cluster which, from their magnitudes and colours, are almost certainly cepheids, though we do not yet have periods for them. We noticed also that two known cepheids, HV 2868 and HV 2870, are associated with NGC 2136.
