Blue Lurkers: Hidden Blue Stragglers on the M67 Main Sequence Identified from their Kepler/K2 Rotation Periods
Emily Leiner, Robert D. Mathieu, Andrew Vanderburg +2
At an age of 4 Gyr, typical solar-type stars in M67 have rotation rates of 20-30 days. Using K2 Campaign 5 and 16 light curves and the spectral archive of the WIYN Open Cluster Stu…

Constraining Mass Transfer Histories of Blue Straggler Stars with COS Spectroscopy of White Dwarf Companions
Natalie M. Gosnell, Emily M. Leiner, Robert D. Mathieu +4
Recent studies show that the majority of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in old open clusters are formed through mass transfer from an evolved star onto a main-sequence companion, resu…
