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 formed via mass transfer in old open clusters [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper, we present the simulations for the primordial blue stragglers in the old open cluster M67 based on detailed modelling of the evolutionary processes. The principal aim is to discuss the contribution of mass transfer between the components of close binaries to the blue straggler population in M67.

The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. XV. The Dynamical Clock: Reading Cluster Dynamical Evolution from the Segregation Level of Blue Straggler Stars [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The parameter A+, defined as the area enclosed between the cumulative radial distribution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) and that of a reference population, is a powerful indicator of the level of BSS central segregation.

From passenger to citizen—portraits of learning to be a physiotherapist
Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Purpose Understanding the experiences of learners—and future graduates—is integral to their professional development and to the development of the profession. This paper adds to understanding of physiotherapy student experiences by exploring the ways students and recent graduates approach, learn about, connect with and form a ...

Blue Stragglers in Low-Luminosity Star Clusters [PDF]
Astrophys.J.635:L73-L76,2005, 2005 We examine the blue straggler populations of 13 low-luminosity (M_V_t >~ -6) globular clusters and 2 old open clusters. These clusters test blue straggler formation in environments intermediate between higher luminosity (and usually higher density) clusters and the Galactic field. The anti-correlation between the relative frequency of blue stragglers

On the Variability of Blue Straggler Stars in the Globular Cluster M53 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1998 We present the results of a search for photometric variable blue straggler stars (BSSs) in the globular cluster M53. Six of the 151 probable BSSs are identified as variable candidates based on the robust variable star detection technique of Welch ...

Discovery of a Double Blue Straggler Sequence in M15: New Insight into the Core-collapse Process [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 In this paper we report the discovery of a double blue straggler star (BSS) sequence in the core of the core-collapsed cluster M15 (NGC 7078). We performed a detailed photometric analysis of the extremely dense core of the cluster using a set of images ...

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.

Constraining Mass-transfer Histories of Blue Straggler Stars with COS Spectroscopy of White Dwarf Companions [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Recent studies show that the majority of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in old open clusters are formed through mass transfer from an evolved star onto a main-sequence companion, resulting in a BSS and white dwarf (WD) in a binary system.
