Milky Way globular clusters formed with initial half-mass densities of ~10^6.4 M_sun/pc^3, bottom-light IMFs, and small present-day black hole mass fractions, inferred by coupling rapid evolution models with multimass equilibrium models fitted to present-day observations.

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.
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.

Formation of a nuclear star cluster through the inspiral of globular clusters: A case study of the dwarf elliptical galaxy UGC 7346
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.
