The blue plume population in dwarf spheroidal galaxies: genuine blue stragglers or young stellar population?

Y. Momany, E. V. Held, I. Saviane +3

Abridged... Blue stragglers (BSS) are thought to be the product of either primordial or collisional binary systems. In the context of dwarf spheroidal galaxies it is hard to firmly…
