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.
Test-particle simulations show that Galactic bar pattern speed systematically deflects open-cluster tidal tail orientations, with NGC 2632 and Hyades tails disfavouring moderate speeds.
