Explaining the Praesepe blue straggler HD 73666
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims. The blue straggler phenomenon is not yet well explained by current theory, although evolutionary models of star clusters require a good knowledge of it. We attempt to develop a formation scenario for HD 73666, a blue straggler member of the Praesepe cluster. \n \nMethods. We compile the known physical properties of HD 73666 found in the literature, focusing in particular on possible binarity and the abundance pattern. \n \nResults. HD 73666 appears to be slowly rotating, have no detectable magnetic field, and have normal abundances, thereby excluding close binary evolution and mass transfer processes. There is no evidence of a hot radiation source. \n \nConclusions. With the use of theoretical results on blue straggler formation present in literature, we are able to conclude that HD 73666 was probably formed by physical collision involving at least one binary system, between 5 and 350 Myr (50 Myr if the star is an intrinsic slow rotator) ago.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
