Although the formation of blue straggler stars (BSSs) is routinely attributed to stellar interactions in binary systems, the relative im- portance of the direct collision and slow(er) stellar coalescence formation channels is still poorly understood. We selected a sample of 24 Magellanic Cloud star clusters for which multi-passband Hubble Space Telescope images are available to address this outstanding question. We compiled a BSS database, containing both traditional and evolved BSSs. We found a robust correlation between the number of BSSs in a cluster's core and its core mass, NBSS;core / M0:510±07 core , which supports the notion that BSS formation is linked to a population's binary fraction. At low stellar collision rates, the mass-normalised number of BSSs does not appear to depend on the collision rate, which implies that the coalescence-driven BSS formation channel dominates. Com- parison with simulations suggests that stellar collisions contribute less than 20% to the total number of BSSs formed.

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (ComBAO) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which publishes research in observational and theoretical astronomy/astrophysics and presents recent advances in these fields. It is being published by the NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in English in electronic form. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, brief reports, book reviews, special communications, observational and theoretical results in various fields of astronomy and related sciences, and some editorial notes, including anniversaries and obituaries. Under the heading “Legacy”, the renewed magazine will republish some old articles of high value in English. The heading “Guest articles” will bring to the attention of readers the articles of researchers who are not employees of BAO. ComBAO was founded in 1946 and regularly published in 1946-1990. However, the publication was interrupted because of the economic situation after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
