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.
In Tombaugh 2, 32% of blue straggler stars show ultraviolet excess from hot companions consistent with recent binary mass transfer, supporting this channel over mergers in a low-density cluster.
