In low-extinction galactic open clusters fast and slow rotators populate distinct parts of the extended main-sequence turnoff while differential extinction inflates the turnoff width and biases age estimates in others.

In Tombaugh 2, 32% of blue straggler stars show ultraviolet excess from hot companions consistent with recent binary mass transfer, supporting this channel over mergers in a low-density cluster.
SED analysis of blue stragglers in open clusters finds UV excesses indicating hot degenerate companions in 15 of 35 candidates, supporting binary evolution.
Multiwavelength study identifies 24 BSS candidates in Berkeley 18, derives their properties via SEDs, and infers binary evolution as the dominant channel from low dynamical interaction indicators.
