Fast rotating blue stragglers prefer loose clusters. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Blue stragglers are anomalously luminous core hydrogen-burning stars formed through mass-transfer in binary/triple systems and stellar collisions. Their physical and evolutionary properties are largely unknown and unconstrained.

Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate. To both address this issue and obtain a better understanding of the formation of BSSs in different environments we have analysed a sample of BSS candidates in two

SPINNING LIKE A BLUE STRAGGLER: THE POPULATION OF FAST ROTATING BLUE STRAGGLER STARS IN ω CENTAURI [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 By using high-resolution spectra acquired with FLAMES-GIRAFFE at the ESO/VLT, we measured radial and rotational velocities for 110 Blue Straggler stars (BSSs) in Omega Centauri, the globular cluster-like stellar system harboring the largest known BSS population. According to their radial velocities, 109 BSSs are members of the system.

STELLAR COLLISIONS AND BLUE STRAGGLER STARS IN DENSE GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 Blue straggler stars (BSS) are abundantly observed in all Galactic globular clusters (GGC) where data exist. However, observations alone cannot reveal the relative importance of various formation channels or the typical formation times for this well studied population of anomalous stars.

Formation Channels for Blue Straggler Stars [PDF]
, 2014 In this chapter we consider two formation channels for blue straggler stars: 1) the merger of two single stars via a collision, and 2) those produced via mass transfer within a binary. We review how computer simulations show that stellar collisions are likely to lead to relatively little mass loss and are thus effective in producing a young population ...
