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.

A PSF-fitting pipeline extracts variability light curves for 91 SMC massive stars and finds that stochastic low-frequency variability morphology tracks HR-diagram position independently of metallicity.
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.
1D models show convective boundary mixing dominates the asteroseismic imprint of accretion in massive stars, robust to semiconvection changes but drastically altered without it, with thermal relaxation as key.
