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.
In low-extinction galactic open clusters fast and slow rotators populate distinct parts of the extended main-sequence turnoff while differential extinction inflates the turnoff width and biases age estimates in others.
