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 stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate.

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.

Multiple stellar populations and their influence on blue stragglers [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010 It has become clear in recent years that globular clusters are not simple stellar populations, but may host chemically distinct sub-populations, typically with an enhanced helium abundance. These helium-rich populations can make up a substantial fraction

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.

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.

Formation Channels for Blue Straggler Stars [PDF]
, 2014 In this chapter we consider two formation channels for blue straggler stars: 1) the merger of two single stars via a collision, and 2) those produced via mass transfer within a binary.
