Fast rotating blue stragglers prefer loose clusters [PDF]
Nature Communications, 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.

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF BLUE STRAGGLERS IN 47 TUCANAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 Blue stragglers (BSS) are stars whose position in the color–magnitude diagram (CMD) places them above the main sequence (MS) turn-off (TO) point of a star cluster.

M67 Blue Stragglers with High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We report on the first detailed infrared chemical analysis of five binary members (S277, S997, S975, S1031, and S1195) in the open cluster M67 (NGC 2682).

UOCS-IX. AstroSat/UVIT Study of the Open Cluster NGC 2818: Blue Stragglers, Yellow Stragglers, Planetary Nebula, and their Membership [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first far-UV (FUV) imaging results of the intermediate-age Galactic open cluster NGC 2818 that has a planetary nebula (PN) within the field using images taken from the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard AstroSat.

Precision analysis of NGC 2158 with Gaia DR3 [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis research uses the third edition of the Gaia Data Release (DR3) to re-investigate the open star cluster NGC 2158. We employed the pyUPMASK Python package and HDBSCAN algorithms to identify the cluster member stars. The key focus of this investigation

A chemical study of M67 candidate blue stragglers and evolved blue stragglers observed with APOGEE DR14 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Within the variety of objects populating stellar clusters, blue straggler stars (BSSs) are among the most puzzling ones. BSSs are commonly found in globular clusters, but they are also known to populate open clusters of the Milky Way.

A catalog of new blue stragglers in open clusters with Gaia DR3 [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and AstrophysicsThe high-precision Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) enables the discovery of numerous open clusters (OCs) in the Milky Way, providing an excellent opportunity to search for blue straggler stars in OCs and investigate their formation and evolution in these ...

MOCK OBSERVATIONS OF BLUE STRAGGLERS IN GLOBULAR CLUSTER MODELS [PDF]
, 2013 We created artificial color–magnitude diagrams of Monte Carlo dynamical models of globular clusters and then used observational methods to determine the number of blue stragglers in those clusters.
