The Impact of Stellar Rotations and Binaries on the Shape of Upper Main Sequence near Turnoff in Open Cluster NGC 6067

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the analysis of the extended main-sequence turnoff (eMSTO) in the open cluster NGC 6067. We derive the projected rotational velocity, v sin i , of the stars belonging to the eMSTO region of the main sequence (MS) utilizing Gaia-ESO spectra ...

A Galactic Center Origin for HE 0437-5439, the Hypervelocity Star near the Large Magellanic Cloud

open access: yes, 2010
We use Hubble Space Telescope imaging to measure the absolute proper motion of the hypervelocity star (HVS) HE 0437-5439, a short-lived B star located in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

The Blue Straggler Star population in NGC6229

open access: yesThe Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , 2012
We have used a combination of high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and wide-field ground-based observations in ultraviolet and optical bands to study the blue straggler star (BSS) population of the outer halo globular cluster NGC 6229 over its entire radial extent.

UOCS. XIII. Study of the Far-ultraviolet Bright Stars in the Open Cluster NGC 2420 Using AstroSat

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the study of four far-ultraviolet (FUV) bright stars in the field of the open cluster NGC 2420 using the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope mounted on AstroSat.

Binary Fraction in Galactic Star Clusters: FSR 866, NGC 1960, and STOCK 2

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The study of binary stars in different astronomical environments offers insights into the dynamical state of the hosting stellar systems. The binary fraction in fact plays a crucial role in the dynamical evolution of stellar systems, regulating processes

Characterization of the Blue Straggler Star Populations, through Statistical, Photometric, and Spectral Energy Distribution Analysis, in the Old Open Cluster: NGC 2243

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We 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.

WIYN Open Cluster Study. XC. Barium Surface Abundances of Blue Straggler Stars in the Open Clusters NGC 7789 and M67

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate barium (Ba) abundances in blue straggler stars (BSSs) in two open clusters, NGC 7789 (1.6 Gyr) and M67 (4 Gyr), as signatures of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) mass transfer.

Blue straggler formation at core collapse

open access: yes, 2016
Among the most striking feature of blue straggler stars (BSS) is the presence of multiple sequences of BSSs in the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of several globular clusters. It is often envisaged that such a multiple BSS sequence would arise due a recent core collapse of the host cluster, triggering a number of stellar collisions and binary mass ...

Discovery of a Second Eclipsing, ​​​​​Bursting Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary in the Globular Cluster Terzan 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have analyzed Chandra and Suzaku observations of the globular cluster Terzan 6, made when the recurrent transient GRS 1747–312 was in quiescence. Our analysis reveals the presence of a second eclipsing, bursting neutron star low-mass X-ray binary in ...
