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.
TOI-5882, a lithium-enriched subgiant with a brown dwarf companion, shows enrichment consistent with engulfment of a super-Earth to Neptune-mass planet.
Astronomical objects from asteroids to stars mostly follow a cohesive mass-density sequence reflecting gravitational contraction and nuclear ignition, while compact stellar remnants deviate from it.
