Blue Stragglers After the Main Sequence [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases.

Blue Straggler Formation in Clusters [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
Blue stragglers are thought to be formed from the merger or coalescence of two stars, but the details of their formation in clusters has been difficult to disentangle.

Explaining the Praesepe blue straggler HD 73666 [PDF]

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2009
The blue straggler phenomenon is not yet well explained by current theory; however, evolutionary models of star clusters call for a good knowledge of it.

Models of Individual Blue Stragglers [PDF]

, 2014
This chapter describes the current state of models of individual blue stragglers. Stellar collisions, binary mergers (or coalescence), and partial or ongoing mass transfer have all been studied in some detail.

Primordial binary evolution and blue stragglers [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractBlue stragglers have been found in all populations. They are important in both stellar evolution and stellar population synthesis. Much evidence shows that blue stragglers are relevant to primordial binaries. Here, we summarize the links between binary evolution and blue stragglers, describe the characteristics of blue stragglers originating ...

Building Blue Stragglers with Stellar Collisions [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractThe evolution of stellar collision products in cluster simulations has usually been modelled using simplified prescriptions. Such prescriptions either replace the collision product with an (evolved) main sequence star, or assume that the collision product was completely mixed during the collision.It is known from hydrodynamical simulations of ...

The Formation Rate of Blue Stragglers in 47 Tucanae [PDF]

, 1999
We investigate the effects of changes in the blue straggler formation rate in globular clusters on the blue straggler distribution in the color-magnitude diagram. We find that the blue straggler distribution is highly sensitive to the past formation rate.
