Field Blue Stragglers and Related Mass Transfer Issues
arXiv:1406.3468 · doi:10.1007/978-3-662-44434-4_4
Abstract
This chapter contains my impressions and perspectives about the current state of knowledge about field blue stragglers (FBS) stars, drawn from an extensive literature that I searched. I conclude my review of issues that attend FBS and mass transfer, by a brief enumeration of a few mildly disquieting observational facts.
