We present a comprehensive analysis of open star clusters and blue straggler stars (BSSs) using advanced statistical and multiwavelength photometric techniques. Key findings include the characterization of the young embedded clusters IC 1590 and NGC 6193, which provide insights into active star formation and mass segregation dynamics. In contrast, studies of older clusters, Berkeley 39 and NGC 2243, investigate the unique formation mechanisms of BSSs, highlighting mass transfer and binary evolution pathways. These investigations offer a unique understanding of stellar evolution across varying cluster ages and environments, also demonstrating the efficiency of machine learning in unravelling the complexities of star clusters.
Mr. A.H. Sheikh is currently working on stellar astronomy, employing various statistical methods and a machine-learning approach using multiwavelength data. He completed his graduation from BN College, Dhubri, in 2021 and his post-graduation from the Department of Physics, Gauhati University, with First Class First Position (Gold Medalist) in 2023. Mr. A.H. Sheikh has joined a PhD program as an INSPIRE Fellow in the Department of Physics, Gauhati University, under the supervision of Dr. Biman J. Medhi, in 2023.
