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 Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have used the “dynamical clock” to measure the level of dynamical evolution reached by three Galactic globular clusters (namely, NGC 3201, NGC 6316, and NGC 6440).

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 Stars in Galactic Open Clusters and the effect of field star contamination [PDF]
, 2008 We investigate the distribution of Blue Straggler stars in the field of three open star clusters. The main purpose is to highlight the crucial role played by general Galactic disk fore-/back-ground field stars, which are often located in the same region ...

Blue stragglers in open clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 We performed for the rst time a detailed LTE spectroscopic study of a sample of blue straggler stars in the moderately old open cluster NGC 7789. For eight stars the parameters and abundances of several elements were determined. The cluster members show a remarkable surface magnesium deciency which is quite unusual for late B - early A stars.

WOCS 4540: Detailed Analysis of a very Long Orbital Period Blue Straggler
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.

M67 Blue Stragglers with High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We report on the first detailed infrared chemical analysis of five binary members (S277, S997, S975, S1031, and S1195) in the open cluster M67 (NGC 2682).

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first far-UV (FUV) imaging results of the intermediate-age Galactic open cluster NGC 2818 that has a planetary nebula (PN) within the field using images taken from the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard AstroSat.
