A binary star system

A binary star system was a type of star system that had two stars at its center. The two stars orbit each other around their common center of gravity, also known as their barycenter. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris", "Evolution", "Night Terrors", "Violations"; DS9: "Battle Lines"; ENT: "Canamar"; DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Battle at the Binary Stars")
In larger systems, for example, the Vulcan system, which was a trinary star system, a binary star system was one of the components that together with a single star system formed the whole system. (SNW: "Charades")
