Binary Stars



International Astronomical Union -- Organization based in Hungary that studies binary stars. Visit

Interacting Binary Stars -- Nice click-through tour with some great animations about some of the complexities of Binary Systems. Visit

The Formation of Binary Stars -- Recent observational investigations of the frequency of occurrence of pre-main-sequence binary stars have reinforced earlier suspicions that binary formation is the primary branch of the star-formation process Visit

The Double Star Library -- A means by which various types of binary & multiple star information can be easily disseminated among binary star astronomers in IAU Commission 26 & related commissions. Visit

The Prosper Project -- Observation program targeted to understand eclipsing binaries without known light ephemeris. Visit

Astronomy 101/103 Web Simulations -- Includes two JAVA simulations of binary star systems. Visit

Binary Star Simulation -- This is a representation of the binary star on a graphical & easy way. Visit

Binary Stars Astronomy Lecture -- A single introductory astronomy lecture on Binary Stars, including many useful diagrams. Visit

The Binary Pulsar: PSR 1913+16 -- Information on the PSR 1013+16 pulsar, a part of a binary system, the discoverers of which won the Nobel Prize in 1993. Visit

Astronomical League Double Star Club -- The purpose of the Double Star Club is to introduce observers to 100 of the finest double & multiple stars in the heavens. Visit

On The Mechanics of Star Formation - Binary Stars & Nemesis -- Brief scientific paper on accretion disk polar jetting by Max Domaschko, PhD, So. Charleston, WV, USA. Also links to a small page of hubble photographs of jetstreams from young stars. Visit

Mass Transfer in the Binary Star Algol -- This site shows the dynamic hydrodynamic models have shown that the circumstellar flow in Algol is relatively independent of the initial speed & direction of the tidal stream. Rather, the flow dynamics are determined primarily by the strength of radiative cooling, which depends on the density of the gas in the mass transfer stream. Visit

Hubble Separates Stars In The Mira Binary System -- Hubble Space Telescope News Release/Paper about the discovery of the atmospheric interaction between the giant star Mira & its white dwarf companion star. Visit

Double Stars to Follow -- A five-part article by Martin Gaskell of the Prairie Astronomy Club. Visit

Eclipsing Binary Stars -- Information on binary stars & links to on line articles. Visit
