Simple stellar population models including blue stragglers
Observations show that nearly all star clusters and stellar populations contain blue straggler stars (BSs). BSs in a cluster can significantly enhance the integrated spectrum of the host population, preferentially at short wavelengths, and render it much bluer in photometric colours. Current theoretical simple stellar population (SSP) models constructed within the traditional framework of singl...
متن کاملBlue Stragglers as Stellar Collision Products: the Angular Momentum Question
We investigate the structure and evolution of blue stragglers stars which were formed from direct stellar collisions between main sequence stars in globular clusters. In particular, we look at the rotational evolution of the products of off-axis collisions. As found in previous work, such blue stragglers initially have too high an angular momentum to contract down to the main–sequence. We consi...
متن کامل0 M ar 1 99 8 The Evolution of Blue Stragglers Formed Via Stellar Collisions
We have used the results of recent smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of colliding stars to create models appropriate for input into a stellar evolution code. In evolving these models, we find that little or no surface convec-tion occurs, precluding angular momentum loss via a magnetically-driven stellar wind as a viable mechanism for slowing rapidly rotating blue stragglers which have ...
متن کاملPrimordial binary evolution and blue stragglers
Blue stragglers can significantly enhance the spectral energy toward short wavelengths, especially in ultraviolet and blue bands. Much evidence shows that blue stragglers are relevant to primordial binaries. In this paper, we systematically studied blue stragglers produced from primordial binary evolution via a binary population synthesis approach, and examined their contribution to the integra...
متن کاملBlue Stragglers after the Main Sequence
We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. We found that the blue straggler progeny populate the colour-magnitude diagram slightly blueward of the red giant branch and between 0.2 and 1 magnitudes brighter than the horizontal branch. ...
