Mass transfer from a giant star to a main-sequence companion and its contribution to long-orbital-period blue stragglers.
CHEN X. and HAN Z.
Abstract (from CDS):
To examine the formation of blue stragglers from mass transfer between giants and MS stars, we have performed Monte Carlo simulations with various qc. The simulations show that some binaries with the mass donor on the first giant branch may contribute to blue stragglers with qc obtained in this paper but will not from previous qc. Meanwhile, from our qc, blue stragglers from the mass transfer between an asymptotic giant branch star and a MS companion may be more numerous and have a wider range of orbital periods than those from the other qc.
