Fast rotating blue stragglers prefer loose clusters [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Blue stragglers are anomalously luminous core hydrogen-burning stars formed through mass-transfer in binary/triple systems and stellar collisions. Their physical and evolutionary properties are largely unknown and unconstrained.

WOCS 4540: Detailed Analysis of a very Long Orbital Period Blue Straggler [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 WOCS 4540 is the longest orbital period ( P _orb = 3030 days) blue straggler star (BSS)—white dwarf (WD) pair in the old open cluster NGC 188. It also contains one of the most luminous BSS in the cluster.

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF BLUE STRAGGLERS IN 47 TUCANAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Blue stragglers (BSS) are stars whose position in the color–magnitude diagram (CMD) places them above the main sequence (MS) turn-off (TO) point of a star cluster. Using data from the core of 47 Tuc in the ultraviolet (UV), we have identified various stellar populations in the CMD, and used their radial distributions to study ...

The Blue Straggler F190: A Case for Mass Transfer [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 The blue straggler F190 is a member of the old open cluster M67. We argue that F190 may still be in the final stages of the mass transfer that has made it into a blue straggler. We use the turnoff mass of the cluster and the mass function derived from the spectroscopic orbit for F190 to constrain the masses of each member of the binary, both before ...

The Astronomical JournalWe present a statistical, photometric, and spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis of the poorly studied old open cluster: NGC 2243, to characterize its blue straggler star (BSS) population.

Modeling blue stragglers in young clusters [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2011 In this paper, a grid of the binary evolution models are calculated for the study of blue straggler (BS) population in intermediate age ($\log Age$=7.85-8.95) star clusters. The BS formation via mass transfer and merging is studied systematically using our models.
