We report on the possible identification of the optical counterpart of the Rapid Burster MXB 1730-335 in the stellar system Liller 1. The identification was performed by taking adv…
A binary-related origin mediated by environmental conditions for blue straggler stars
Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni, Enrico Vesperini +7
Blue stragglers are anomalously massive core hydrogen-burning stars that, according to the theory of single star evolution, should not exist. They are suspected to form in mass-enh…
