Photometric variability of blue straggler stars in M67 with TESS and K2

Nagaraj Vernekar, Annapurni Subramaniam, Vikrant V. Jadhav +1

Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are formed through mass transfer or mergers in binaries. The recent detections of white dwarf (WD) companions to BSSs in M67 suggested a mass transfer p…
