Caroline Darin Nico Salzetta Advisors: Aaron Geller, Daryl Haggard Blue Stragglers Period-the amount of time it takes for the stars in a binary system to complete one orbit Eccentricity-shape of the orbit Caroline Darin Nico Salzetta Advisors: Aaron Geller, Daryl Haggard

Star Clusters All stars in a cluster are around the same age Spherical distribution Two types: globular and open clusters

Star Clusters cont. Stellar evolution based solely on initial mass Stars in cluster graphed on Color-magnitude diagram, map out smooth trend of stellar evolution

Blue Stragglers Left of the dashed line Brighter and bluer than other Main Sequence stars Because of this, they appear younger - they 'straggle' behind other stars of similar mass Are usually observed in long period binaries -hr diagram for ngc 188 -explain axes -MS, RGB, AGB -point out blue stragglers, why don't they follow normal evolution? Robert D. Mathieu & Aaron M. Geller Nature 462, 1032-1035(24 December 2009)

Blue Straggler Formation Theories Since stellar evolution based on initial mass of star, irregular evolution is probably from a change in mass mid-evolution Collisions Mass transfer Mergers in triple star systems

Collisions Collision between two stars(during binary-binary encounter) in a dense cluster Leaves binary with long period and high eccentricity N-body simulations show that only some blue stragglers could come from collisions Also cannot explain field blue stragglers because star collisions are extremely rare in the field The resulting star would be more massive and brighter than the rest of the stars in the cluster.

Mass Transfer Wind Accretion-winds from giant accrete on main sequence companion, new mass makes MS star look bluer and brighter Roche Lobe overflow-giant evolves to fill roche lobe and transfers mass to companion, making it look bluer and brighter Mass Transfer tends to circularise orbits through tidal forces so we expect low eccentricities and longer periods Blue stragglers should somewhat resemble other mass transfer stars such as CH, Barium and S-Type Stars

Mergers in Triple Star Systems Merger in binary could produce blue straggler, but would be single star, not binary Usually involve a very close inner binary and a wider tertiary that orbit the system's center of mass Theory is that inner binary merges and forms blue straggler while tertiary star continues to orbit around center of mass Predicts blue straggler binaries with long periods, range of eccentricity Progenitor conditions for blue stragglers: .75 < Inner binary total mass < 3 .05 < Outer star mass < 3 Inner binary period < 10 days

Blue Stragglers Collected periods and eccentricities of blue straggler binaries, regular giant binaries, mass transfer binaries and triple systems(outer orbit) most theories predict particular eccentricities and periods for blue stragglers so looking at these variables for all blue stragglers can shed light on their origin

Cumulative Frequency of Eccentricities

Mass transfer and blue stragglers not statistically different using KS test Triples and BS statistically different We know BS are formed both ways however so...

Hypothesis Graph

Cumulative Frequency of Periods

Period Interpretation Triples don't fit for eccentricity, leaves mass transfer The wind accretion mass transfer stars have longer periods than the blue stragglers Leaves Roche Lobe overflow mass transfer RLOF predicts shorter periods than wind accretion, so this makes sense because the blue stragglers have shorter periods than the wind accretion mass transfers

Future Work Spend next few weeks running BSE code to simulate binary evolution, obtain resulting eccentricities and periods Try to create eccentricity and period distribution of blue stragglers Explore differences between mass transfer via wind accretion and RLOF
