Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young...
Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies - II. Sculptor and Fornax
The existence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is still an open question. In fact, many BSS candidates have been observed in...
Blue Straggler Stars in the Unusual Globular Cluster NGC 6388
We have used multiband high-resolution HST WFPC2 and ACS observations combined with wide-field ground-based observations to study the blue straggler star (BSS)...
Blue stragglers - A search for binaries in the infrared
Infrared photometry in the J, H and K bands, performed on a sample of 33 blue stragglers (BS) belonging to 8 open clusters is presented. This photometry has...
An observational test of the binary hypothesis for the origin of blue straggler stars is conducted by searching for radial velocity variables among 30 blue...
Blue supergiants as a progenitor of intermediate-luminosity red transients
The current perspective about the explosions of massive hydrogen-rich blue supergiants is that they resemble SN 1987A. These so-called peculiar Type II...
