Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.

Blue straggler stars in old open clusters predominantly appear near the terminal-age main sequence because mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch donors enriches their cores with helium.
New spectroscopic measurements of RGB stars in nine open clusters confirm mass-dependent extra-mixing processes and indicate that initial 17O and 18O abundances may vary.
