Scientific paper

The present volume on blue stragglers discusses a survey of galactic globular clusters for blue straggler stars, the search for blue stragglers in globular cluster cores with the Faint Object Camera, blue stragglers as tracers of globular cluster evolution, and an HST study of blue stragglers in 47 Tuc and M15. Attention is given to blue interlopers in the old open cluster M67, photometrically variable blue stragglers, binaries and blue stragglers in globular clusters, and Monte Carlo simulation of close binary evolution in young open clusters. Topics addressed include SX Phe stars as distance indicators, contact binaries in open clusters, blue stragglers in the globular cluster NGC 6366, and HST observations of blue stragglers in M4. Also discussed are lithium abundances in old blue stragglers, the possible collisional origin of the Population II field blue stragglers, physical stellar collisions as an explanation for the blue stragglers in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and hydrodynamic instabilities in close binary systems and the formation of blue stragglers.
