Discovery of Carbon/Oxygen depleted Blue Straggler Stars in 47 Tucanae: the chemical signature of a mass-transfer formation process
F. R. Ferraro, E. Sabbi, R. Gratton +10
We use high-resolution spectra obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope to measure surface abundance patterns of 43 Blue Stragglers stars (BSS) in 47 Tuc. We discovered that a su…

The lack of binaries among hot horizontal branch stars: M80 and NGC5986
C. Moni Bidin, S. Moehler, G. Piotto +3
We present preliminary results of a our search for close (period P < 10 days) binary systems among hot (Teff > 20000 K) horizontal branch stars in globular clusters M80 and NGC5986…

The lack of close binaries among hot horizontal branch stars in NGC6752
C. Moni Bidin, S. Moehler, G. Piotto +3
We present the results of a spectroscopic search for close binaries among horizontal branch (HB) stars in NGC6752. We used the ESO VLT-FORS2 instrument to obtain medium resolution…
