A research team has used both archival Hubble Space Telescope data and new observations to precisely measure the binary star ...

Binary star orbits are oriented randomly. Sometimes, it happens that a telescope’s line of sight aligns with the plane a binary star system orbits on.

Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

A binary star system caught in the earliest stages of formation is giving astronomers clues as to why solar systems that circle double stars may be altogether different than our own.

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a rapidly spinning neutron star that is gravitationally bound to a helium star companion. The discovery of this unusual binary system helps confirm a ...

The X-ray-emitting binary system Cygnus X-3 features a massive Wolf-Rayet star donating matter to a compact object, probably a black hole.
