Reseña del libro "The Blue Straggler Mystery (en Inglés)"

Blue stragglers are celestial misfits. They stand out from the crowd, and they require special explanation. Remarkably, for so the observations indicate, they have aged differently to similar mass 'normal' stars. First recognized as being altogether different in the early 1950s, blue stragglers have occupied the thoughts of astronomers ever since. This book looks into the mystery of blue straggler origins, and offers its readers an insight in to how astronomers measure and determine the properties of stars in general. Indeed, the book will take the reader through the basic physics and geometry that is needed to understand the essential observations and theory of stars and star clusters.This book provides a review of the blue straggler phenomenon.This book provides an introduction to the basic methods by which astronomers have learned to know and understand the stars.This book provides a non-technical overview of how stars of different initial masses change as they age.This book examines how astronomers have unraveled the blue straggler mystery, invoking within its solution the need for violent collisions between stars, or the merger and consumption of one star by another within a close binary system.
