    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star

    A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other. Binary stars in the night sky that are seen as a single object to the naked eye are often resolved as separate stars using a telescope , in which case they are called visual binaries .

    The closest encounter to the Sun so far predicted is the low-mass orange dwarf star Gliese 710 / HIP 89825 with roughly 60% the mass of the Sun. [4] It is currently predicted to pass 0.1696 ± 0.0065 ly (10 635 ± 500 au) from the Sun in 1.290 ± 0.04 million years from the present, close enough to significantly disturb the Solar System's Oort ...

    Monoceros also contains Plaskett's Star, a massive binary system whose combined mass is estimated [by whom?] to be almost 100 solar masses. Monoceros is the location of the binary system Scholz's Star, host to a red dwarf primary and brown dwarf secondary; the system performed a close flypast of the Solar System approximately 70,000 years ago ...

  8. Binary system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_system

    A related classification though not a binary system is optical binary, which refers to objects that are so close together in the sky that they appear to be a binary system, but are not. Such objects merely appear to be close together, but lie at different distances from the Solar System. [1] [2]

  9. Aldebaran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldebaran

    The NASA Exoplanet Archive recognizes Aldebaran as a binary star, with Aldebaran B being the secondary star. [50] A spectral type of M2.5 has been published for Alpha Tauri B. [51] Alpha Tauri CD is a binary system with the C and D component stars gravitationally bound to and co-orbiting each other. These co-orbiting stars have been shown to be ...
