A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
