Blue Straggler Bimodality: A Brownian Motion Model [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract The shape of the radial distribution of blue straggler stars (BSS), when normalized to a reference population of horizontal branch (HB) stars, has been found to be a powerful indicator of the dynamical evolution reached by a globular cluster (GC).

The Blue Straggler Population of the Globular Cluster M5 [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 By combining high-resolution HST and wide-field ground based observations, in ultraviolet and optical bands, we study the Blue Stragglers Star (BSS) population of the galactic globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) from its very central regions up to its periphery. The BSS distribution is highly peaked in the cluster center, decreases at intermediate radii and

Chemical composition of a palomar 12 blue straggler
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT With the equivalent area of a 16-m telescope, ESPRESSO in 4UT mode allows to inaugurate high resolution spectroscopy for solar-type stars belonging to extragalactic globular clusters. We determine the chemical composition of an extragalactic blue straggler (BS).

Blue Stragglers in Low-Luminosity Star Clusters
, 2005 We examine the blue straggler populations of 13 low-luminosity (M_V_t >~ -6) globular clusters and 2 old open clusters. These clusters test blue straggler formation in environments intermediate between higher luminosity (and usually higher density ...

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF BLUE STRAGGLERS IN 47 TUCANAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT 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. Using data from the core of 47 Tuc in the ultraviolet (UV), we have identified various stellar populations in the CMD, and used their radial distributions to study ...

, 2017 Two blue-straggler sequences discovered in globular cluster M30 provide a strong constraint on the formation mechanisms of blue stragglers. We study the formation of the blue-straggler binaries through binary evolution, and find that binary evolution can

On the Evidence of Disks around Blue Straggler Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 Recent observations of blue stragglers by De Marco et al. (2004) have revealed continuum deficits on the blue side of the Balmer discontinuity, leading these authors to infer the presence of discs around the stars. This intriguing possibility may throw light on aspects of the mechanisms responsible for at least some of these objects; current theories ...
