Stellar mergers as the origin of the blue main-sequence band in young star clusters

Recent high-quality Hubble Space Telescope photometry shows that the main-sequence stars of young star clusters form two discrete components in the colour–magnitude diagram. On the basis of their distribution in the colour–magnitude diagram, we show that stars of the blue main-sequence component can...
