SED analysis of blue stragglers in open clusters finds UV excesses indicating hot degenerate companions in 15 of 35 candidates, supporting binary evolution.
Multiwavelength study identifies 24 BSS candidates in Berkeley 18, derives their properties via SEDs, and infers binary evolution as the dominant channel from low dynamical interaction indicators.

Multiwavelength Study of Blue Straggler Stars in Tombaugh 2: Evidence for Binary Mass Transfer and Constraints on Cluster Dynamical State
In Tombaugh 2, 32% of blue straggler stars show ultraviolet excess from hot companions consistent with recent binary mass transfer, supporting this channel over mergers in a low-density cluster.
