Title: | The Blue Straggler Population in Dwarf Galaxies | Authors: | AL MOMANY, YAZAN | Issue Date: | 2015 | Volume: | Ecology of Blue Straggler Stars | Series: | ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE LIBRARY | Number: | 413 | First Page: | 129 | Abstract: | In this chapter I review the recent developments regarding the study of Blue Stragglers (BSS) in dwarf galaxies. The loose density environment of dwarf galaxies resembles that of the Galactic Halo, hence it is natural to compare their common BSS properties. At the same time, it is unescapable to compare with the BSS properties in Galactic globular clusters, which constitute the reference point for BSS studies. Admittedly, the literature on BSS in dwarf galaxies is not plentiful. The limitation is mostly due to the large distance to even the closest dwarf galaxies. Nevertheless, recent studies have allowed a deeper insight on the BSS photometric properties that are worth examining. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24115 | URL: | https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-44434-4 | ISBN: | 978-3-662-44434-4 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-662-44434-4_6 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015ASSL..413..129M | Fulltext: | open |
