Are All Blue Stragglers Ap Stars?

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1976
SummaryA list of open clusters with blue stragglers studied for Ap characteristics is presented. In addition to previously published results new spectroscopic data are given of blue stragglers in the open cluster IC 4756 derived from ESO spectrograms taken in 1973. Preliminary conclusions concerning the status of Ap stars and blue stragglers are drawn.

Abundance patterns in unevolved A stars and in blue stragglers

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1995
On the basis of high‐resolution spectrometry and NLTE analysis we investigate abundance patterns of non‐nuclear origin in normal main‐sequence A stars and in their metal‐deficient counterparts, the Lambda Bootis stars. We try to identify and separate the effects of diffusion (gravitational settling, radiative levitation) and accretion (separation of ...

Report on the Workshop ''Ecology of Blue Straggler Stars''

2013
The last workshop dedicated to blue straggler stars (BSS) took place 20 years ago and there have been a great number of subsequent developments since in both observations and theory. The wide range of BSS topics covered at the workshop are briefly summarised; the published proceedings will form the first book on the subject.

The Formation and Evolution of Blue Straggler Stars in Globular Cluster

2017
In Chap. 3, we know binaries already play a important role in stellar interactions. At an early stage, stellar interactions would disrupt most of soft binaries in a SC. However, the hard binaries would survive at this stage and continue with their further evolution, which would finally lead them to merge, resulting in BSS.

Blue Straggler Star Formation in the Field Regions of M31

American Journal of Student Research
During stellar evolution, some stars evolve into blue straggler stars (BSS), stars that are more blue and luminous compared to the main sequence turnoff point (MSTO) of the parent generation. Two main theories for BSS formation exist, stellar collision and binary mass transfer. One way to determine which theory led to BSS formation is by determining
