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.
The TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey provides periods for 1,046,317 stars within 500 pc, with an estimated 93% being true rotation periods, and includes a method to correct half-period aliases.
The HAges catalog compiles published asteroseismic and gyrochronological ages for 659 HWO target stars, finding that only ~5% have asteroseismic ages and ~20% have gyrochronal ages.
