binary star half the stars in the solar neighborhood are members of star systems star system A system of two stars orbiting around a common center of gravity. Visual binaries are those whose components can be resolved telescopically (i.e., angular separation > 0'.5) and which have detectable orbital motion. Astrometric binaries are those whose dual nature can be deduced from their variable proper motion; spectroscopic binaries, those whose dual nature can be deduced from their variable radial velocity. At least half of the stars in the solar neighborhood are members of binary (or multiple) systems. (See photometric binaries; optical pairs.) 2

shell star B star, A star, F star emission line star A star in which two different types of line profiles co-exist.

17 Leporis M1 III B star, A star, F star Lepus binary star half the stars in the solar neighborhood are members of star systems A0 V A close binary system (A0 V, M1 III) with a shell-like spectrum indicating that mass transfer may be occurring from the late-type companion onto the A0 primary. 2
