The key characteristics of a binary star system include:1. **Gravity**: The gravitational force between the two stars is the fundamental force driving their orbital motion. As the objects are so massive, their gravity dominates over Newtonian physics, converting the motion into celestial phenomenon. As the stars orbit each other, they stretch and squeeze each other elastically; this immense gravitational pull allows them to 'sink' deeply into their cores because of the stronger gravity near the surface due to the conservation of angular momentum.2. **Orbital Motion**: The stars revolve around their center of mass, located somewhere between them. The orbital period, defined as the time it takes for one star to complete an orbit around the other, is determined by factors such as the masses of the stars and their distances from the barycenter.3. **Tidal Effects**: These occur due to differences in gravitational forces at high and low points of orbits (a phenomenon referred to as tidal stretching). The more massive or closer the stars are to each other, the stronger these effects. As a result of tidal contributions, the stars may evolve by losing angular momentum in a process known as tidal circularization, this can lead to evaporation of the outer layers, and affect the overall system's dynamics.4. **Stellar Interactions**: Over time, binary star systems may merge, evolve, or separate—decreasing the binary ratio. This leads to the creation of systems such as eclipsing binaries, where one star passes in front of the other from our perspective resulting in periodic dimming, or X-ray binaries where a star consumes material from its recurrent companion through a disk.5. **Detecting Binary Systems**: Various methods are used to discover binary star systems. Spectroscopy studies changes in spectral lines due to Doppler shifts (the shifting of frequency or wavelength of a wave in relationship to an observer, who is moving relative to the wave source) when stars are near their orbital extremes. Radial velocity shifts can also be observed, as gravitational tugs from the other star slightly alter each other's motion. Finally, variable stars are bright enough and show significant brightness variations suitable for being detected by means of periodic dimming, indicating the presence of a binary system. 6. **Evolution**: Depending on the stars' masses, age and composition, binary star systems can go through different evolutionary paths. Binaries are crucial for understanding astrophysical phenomena like supernovae explosions, gamma-ray bursts, and the formation of black holes.So, binary star systems generally involve two massive bodies delineating an elliptical orbit while experiencing invasive gravitational, thermal, and energetic effects each one on others throughout their co-evolution, often intertwined with complex interactions like mass transfer, tides, and extinction. These systems are essential for various developments in astrophysics, guiding our understanding of cosmic phenomena.
