The Blue Lurker WOCS 14020: A Long-Period Post-Common-Envelope Binary in M67 Originating from a Merger in a Triple System

Emily M. Leiner, Natalie M. Gosnell, Aaron M. Geller +3

We present Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of a blue-lurkerwhite-dwarf (BL-WD) binary system in the 4 Gyr open cluster M67. We fit the FUV spectrum of the W…

M67 Blue Stragglers with High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy

K. E. Brady, C. Sneden, C. A. Pilachowski +5

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). These stars are located o…

An Eclipsing Binary Comprising Two Active Red Stragglers of Identical Mass and Synchronized Rotation: A Post-Mass-Transfer System or Just Born That Way?

Keivan G. Stassun, Guillermo Torres, Marina Kounkel +7

We report the discovery of 2M0056-08 as an equal-mass eclipsing binary (EB), comprising two red straggler stars (RSSs) with an orbital period of 33.9 d. Both stars have masses of 1…

WIYN Open Cluster Study. LXXXVII. HST Ultraviolet Detection of Hot White Dwarf Companions to Blue Lurkers in M67

Andrew C. Nine, Robert D. Mathieu, Natalie M. Gosnell +1

We present the results of our Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet survey of the blue lurkers (BLs) in M67. We find evidence for two white dwarf companions among the BLs that are…

Revealing the Field Sub-subgiant Population Using a Catalog of Active Giant Stars and Gaia EDR3

Emily M. Leiner, Aaron M. Geller, Michael A. Gully-Santiago +2

Sub-subgiant stars (SSGs) fall below the subgiant branch and/or red of the giant branch in open and globular clusters, an area of the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) not populated by…

Observationally Constraining the Starspot Properties of Magnetically Active M67 Sub-Subgiant S1063

Natalie M. Gosnell, Michael A. Gully-Santiago, Emily M. Leiner +1

Our understanding of the impact of magnetic activity on stellar evolution continues to unfold. This impact is seen in sub-subgiant stars, defined to be stars that sit below the sub…
