The Origins of Blue Stragglers and Binarity in Globular Clusters
Nathan Leigh, Christian Knigge, Alison Sills +3
(abridged) We use newly available empirical binary fractions for globular clusters to carry out a direct test of the binary evolution hypothesis, and of collisional channels that i…
The occurrence of nitrogen-enhanced metal-poor stars: implications for the initial mass function in the early Galactic halo
Onno R. Pols, Robert G. Izzard, Richard J. Stancliffe +1
Most carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are thought to result from past mass transfer of He-burning material from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star to a low-mass companion…
Common Envelope Evolution: Where we stand and how we can move forward
N. Ivanova, S. Justham, X. Chen +16
This work aims to present our current best physical understanding of common-envelope evolution (CEE). We highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas which shoul…
Quantifying the Universality of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in Old Star Clusters
Nathan Leigh, Stefan Umbreit, Alison Sills +4
We present a new technique to quantify cluster-to-cluster variations in the observed present-day stellar mass functions of a large sample of star clusters. Our method quantifies th…
