==Red and yellow stragglers== "Yellow stragglers" or "red stragglers" are stars with colors between that of the turnoff and the [[red-giant branch]] but brighter than the [[subgiant]] branch. Such stars have been identified in open and globular star clusters. These stars may be former blue straggler stars that are now evolving toward the giant branch.<ref name=ss>{{cite journal | author = Clark, L.
