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.
SPH simulations of AGB wind-binary interactions over 600+ orbital periods show that slow winds with massive companions produce circumbinary disks via wind Roche-lobe overflow, with disk morphology depending on eccentricity and mass ratio.
