The Power of High-precision Broadband Photometry: Tracing the Milky Way Density Profile with Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Dark Energy Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
Blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs), excellent distant tracers for probing the Milky Way’s halo density profile, are distinguished in the ${\left(g-r\right)}_{0}$ versus ( i − z ) _0 color space from another class of stars, blue straggler stars.

Blue straggler stars in galactic open clusters

, 2021
Blue straggler stars (BSS) were originally identified in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the globular cluster M3, where they defined an extension of the cluster main sequence, blueward and above the turnoff (TO). Among the variety of objects that populate stellar clusters, BSS are surely between those still presenting many puzzles to astronomers ...

An Analysis of Blue Straggler Stars in Open Clusters

Research Notes of the AAS
Abstract The presence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in open clusters (OCs) presents an opportunity to study star formation and cluster dynamics. Our paper analyzes several properties of BSSs across 161 OCs of different ages, metallicities, and sizes.
