The blue straggler star population in NGC 6229★ [PDF]

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.

The blue stragglers of Omega Centauri

The Astrophysical Journal, 1986
On a obtenu les spectres 3500-5000 A (resolution 3,6 A) de six candidats. Ils ne presentent aucune caracteristique inhabituelle. les vitesses radiales montrent que ces six vagabondes bleues appartiennent a l'amas.

On the Evidence of Disks around Blue Straggler Stars [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2005
Recent observations of blue stragglers by De Marco et al. (2004) have revealed continuum deficits on the blue side of the Balmer discontinuity, leading these authors to infer the presence of discs around the stars. This intriguing possibility may throw light on aspects of the mechanisms responsible for at least some of these objects; current theories ...

Chemical composition of a palomar 12 blue straggler

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT With the equivalent area of a 16-m telescope, ESPRESSO in 4UT mode allows to inaugurate high resolution spectroscopy for solar-type stars belonging to extragalactic globular clusters. We determine the chemical composition of an extragalactic blue straggler (BS).

An Analytic Model for Blue Straggler Formation in Globular Clusters

, 2011
We present an analytic model for blue straggler formation in globular clusters. We assume that blue stragglers are formed only through stellar collisions and binary star evolution, and compare our predictions to observed blue straggler numbers taken from

The Blue Stragglers of the Old Open Cluster NGC 188

, 2014
The old (7 Gyr) open cluster NGC 188 has yielded a wealth of astrophysical insight into its rich blue straggler population. Specifically, the NGC 188 blue stragglers are characterized by: A binary frequency of 80% for orbital periods less than $10^4 ...

The Blue Straggler Stars of Galactic Clusters [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1993
AbstractThe origin and evolution of blue straggler stars (BS) in clusters is still an unsolved problem for our understanding of stellar evolution. Several rivalling theories exist, of which that of Saio & Wheeler (1980) is the most interesting one since it assumes additional mixing of fuel in the interior of BS.

Nitrogen‐Vacancy Magnetometry of Edge Magnetism in WS2 Flakes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Using nitrogen‐vacancy magnetometry, the authors visualize room‐temperature stray magnetic fields localized at the edges of WS2 flakes. Their measurements reveal edge‐specific magnetization consistent with spin canting in antiferromagnetically coupled edge states.

Detection of white dwarf companions to blue stragglers in the open cluster NGC 188: direct evidence for recent mass transfer

, 2014
Several possible formation pathways for blue straggler stars have been developed recently, but no one pathway has yet been observationally confirmed for a specific blue straggler.
