We discuss the observational properties of a special class of objects (the so-called “Blue Straggler Stars”, BSSs) in the framework of using this stellar population as probe of the dynamical processes occurring in high-density stellar systems.

Radial velocities of blue stragglers in M3
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1983The authors have obtained 1 A resolution spectra of five blue stragglers in M3 all with mv ≥ 17.3 using the MMT spectrograph and photon-counting Reticon. The spectra cover the range 4580 A to 5450 A, and except for Hβ are devoid of strong features. From measurements of the Hβ lines in the five blue stragglers and three velocity standards the authors ...

Blue Straggler Stars: Setting up a Dynamical Clock for Open Clusters
Bulletin de la Société royale des sciences de LiègeBlue straggler stars are late bloomers that are bluer and brighter than the main sequence turnoff stars on a color-magnitude diagram of a cluster. Being a massive population compared to their other cluster siblings, their sedimentation level has been ...

Blue Straggler Stars of NGC 7789 and NGC 2506 Using AstroSat/UVIT
Bulletin de la Société royale des sciences de LiègeBlue straggler stars are intriguing objects that seem to defy the standard theory of single-star evolution. They manage to elongate their main-sequence lifetimes by acquiring mass either in a direct stellar collision or through mass transfer in a binary ...

Allan Sandage: Blue Stragglers
2021One of the more recent stellar discoveries was made by noticing something out of place in globular cluster Messier 3 (M3) (Fig. 19.1).
