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.
N-body simulations demonstrate that the inspiral of globular clusters in UGC 7346 results in the formation of a nuclear star cluster with mass (4.1-4.5)×10^5 solar masses within 1.5 Gyr.
