Origin and Radial Distribution of Faint Blue Horizontal-Branch Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
We report the identification of 23 faint blue horizontal branch stars in Omega Centauri similar to those discussed by Buonanno et al. (1985) in M15. We find that these stars are significantly concentrated towards the center of the cluster with respect to other giants. We suggest that they may have formed from the collision of a main sequence star and a white dwarf.
