Blue Straggler Formation in Clusters

open access: yes, 2010
Blue stragglers are thought to be formed from the merger or coalescence of two stars, but the details of their formation in clusters has been difficult to disentangle.

Binary Fraction in Galactic Star Clusters: FSR 866, NGC 1960, and STOCK 2

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The study of binary stars in different astronomical environments offers insights into the dynamical state of the hosting stellar systems. The binary fraction in fact plays a crucial role in the dynamical evolution of stellar systems, regulating processes

A prototype submersible sheathless flow cytometer designed for autonomous platforms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Development of submersible flow cytometers has allowed for continuous, in situ measurements of natural assemblages of phytoplankton cells. Here we introduce DeepCyte, a sensitive prototype submersible flow cytometer developed for deployment on autonomous platforms.

Once a Triple, Not Always a Triple: The Evolution of Hierarchical Triples That Yield Merged Inner Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
More than half of all main-sequence (MS) stars have one or more companions, and many of those with initial masses 10 yr) companions. Furthermore, both BSS binaries and DWDs exhibit signatures of WD birth kicks.

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...

The Multiple Origin of Blue Straggler Stars: Theory vs. Observations

open access: yes, 2014
In this chapter we review the various suggested channels for the formation and evolution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in different environments and their observational predictions.

WIYN Open Cluster Study. XCVII. An Extended Radial-velocity Survey and Spectroscopic Binary Orbits in the Open Cluster NGC 188

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present 35 new spectroscopic-binary orbits from our extended radial-velocity (RV) survey of the old (6.4 ± 0.2 Gyr) open cluster NGC 188. Using data from the WIYN Open Cluster Study (WOCS) and APOGEE-2, this work nearly doubles the temporal baseline ...

Advances in Position‐Momentum Entanglement: A Versatile Tool for Quantum Technologies

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Position–momentum entanglement constitutes a high‐dimensional continuous‐variable resource in quantum optics. Recent advances in its generation, characterization, and control are reviewed, with emphasis on spontaneous parametric down‐conversion and modern measurement techniques.

Stellar Spin-down in Post-mass-transfer Binary Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Motivated by measurements of the rotation speed of accretor stars in post-mass-transfer (post-MT) systems, we investigate how magnetic braking affects the spin-down of individual stars during binary evolution with the MESAbinary module.
