Field Blue Stragglers and Related Mass Transfer Issues

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-06-22 v1

Abstract

This chapter contains my impressions and perspectives about the current state of knowledge about field blue stragglers (FBS) stars, drawn from an extensive literature that I searched. I conclude my review of issues that attend FBS and mass transfer, by a brief enumeration of a few mildly disquieting observational facts.
