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.
Student teams at an ESO school obtained spectroscopic and photometric data on binary stars and blue stragglers, confirming alignment due to tides, cluster membership via abundances, delta Scuti pulsation, and a binary central star in a planetary nebula.
