Spectroscopic Study of Blue Straggler Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 3201
We conducted a spectroscopic study of 39 blue straggler stars in the globular cluster NGC~3201. The spectra of these stars have been previously reported. We determined the radial velocity, atmospheric parameters (T$_{eff}$, log $g$), Mg abundance, and metallicity ([Fe/H]) for all sources in the sample. The mean radial velocity and [Fe/H] were determined to be 498.0$\pm$5.3 km/s and -1.42$\pm$0.27, respectively. The derived [Fe/H] is consistent, within uncertainties, with the cluster's [Fe/H] of -1.59 dex. The mean [Mg/Fe] for the sample was estimated to be 0.36$\pm$0.73. Importantly, this study is the first to estimate [Mg/Fe] for blue straggler stars in the cluster NGC~3201.
