Abstract
The three eclipsing binaries among the blue stragglers of the globular cluster NGC 5466 have been modeled. Two of the systems are contact systems and the third is a short-period Algol system. The results indicate that the systems are well on their way to merger, but the implications for the origin of blue-stragglers are less clear.
