Formation Channels for Blue Straggler Stars
In this chapter we consider two formation channels for blue straggler stars: 1) the merger of two single stars via a collision, and 2) those produced via mass transfer within a binary. We review how c...

Sub-optimal Approaches to Heteroscedasticity in Silicon Strip Detectors: the Lucky Model and the Super-Lucky Model
The approach to heteroscedasticity of ref.1(Instruments 2022, 6(1), 10) contains a sketchy application of a sub-optimal method of very easy implementation: the lucky model. The supporting proof of thi...

Ecology of Blue Straggler Stars
The existence of blue straggler stars (BSS), which appear younger, hotter, and more massive than their siblings, is at odds with a simple picture of stellar evolution, as such stars should have exhaus...

Blue Straggler Stars: Early Observations that Failed to Solve the Problem
In this chapter, I describe early ideas on blue stragglers, and various observations (some published, some not) that promised but failed to resolve the question of their origin. I review the data and ...

Inspiring stories from women in astronomy in Africa
In preparation for the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly (GA) 2024, the first GA held in Africa, the African Network of Women in Astronomy (AfNWA) embarked on a visionary project...

Lucky Exposures: Diffraction limited astronomical imaging through the atmosphere
Through selection of short exposure images we achieve diffraction-limited I-band imaging from well-figured ground-based telescopes as large as 2.5 m diameter. The faint limiting magnitude and large is...

Beyond the $\sqrt{\mathrm{N}}$ limit of the least squares resolution and the lucky model
A very simple Gaussian model is used to illustrate a new fitting result: a linear growth of the resolution with the number N of detecting layers. This rule is well beyond the well-known rule proportio...

Massive stars with Pollux on LUVOIR
Many open questions remain about massive stars, for example about their evolution, their wind, and their maximum mass at formation. These issues could be ideally adressed by the Pollux UV spectropolar...

The Multiple Origin of Blue Straggler Stars: Theory vs. Observations
In this chapter we review the various suggested channels for the formation and evolution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in different environments and their observational predictions. These include mas...
