On the origin of the short-period Blue Straggler Stars in Collinder 261: a binary evolution approach
M. Echeveste, M. J. Rain, G. Carraro +3
Building on the recent publication of a fresh catalog of blue straggler stars in Galactic open clusters using Gaia DR3, we conduct a study focusing on the blue straggler stars with…

New self-consistent theoretical descriptions for mass-loss rates of O-type stars
F. Figueroa-Tapia, J. A. Panei, M. Curé +5
Massive O-type stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through radiation-driven winds, a process that critically shapes their evolution and feedback into the interstellar m…

Binary origin of blue straggler stars in Galactic star clusters
M. J. Rain, M. S. Pera, G. Perren +5
Building on the recent release of a new \emph{Gaia}-based blue straggler star catalog in Galactic open star clusters (OCs), we explored the properties of these stars in a cluster s…
