Evolution of Stellar Collision Products in Globular Clusters. II. Off-Axis Collisions
Abstract
We continue our exploration of collisionally merged stars in the blue straggler region of the color-magnitude diagram. We report the results of new smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) calculations of parabolic collisions between two main-sequence stars, with the initial structure and composition profiles of the parent stars having been determined from stellar evolution calculations. Parallelization of the SPH code has permitted much higher …
