Wikipedia Articles
- Interacting binary stars - An Interacting binary star is a type of binary star in which one or both of the component stars has filled or exceeded its Roche lobe. When this happens, material from one star will flow towards the other, forming an accretion disk.
- Binary stars in fiction - Many writers in the science fiction genre have explored the possibilities of binary stars in fiction. One of the more famous examples is the planet Tatooine in the Star Wars movies, which orbits the two stars Tatoo 1 and Tatoo 2.
- Overcontact binary - An overcontact binary is a close binary star system in which the two stars have exceeded their Roche lobes and share a common atmosphere.
- Binary asteroid - The term binary asteroid refers to a system in which two asteroids orbit their common center of mass, in analogy with binary stars.
- X-ray binary - X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are very luminous in X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one component (usually a relatively normal star) to the other component, which is a neutron star or a black hole.
