Yes, and when they do so they are called binary stars
(see wiki: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star)
basically the two masses are attracted by each others' gravitational fields and orbit each other.

What are stars systems?
its two stars that share the same orbit around each other
What are binary star systems?
its two stars that share the same orbit around each other
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
Do stars orbit the sun?
No, most stars orbit the center of their galaxies. There are many types of star systems. For example, binary stars orbit each other.
What is called as binary star or double star?
A binary star system is two stars that orbit around each other
What is the star that orbits another star in a constellation?
Two stars that are close together will orbit each other. More precisely, they will orbit around their common center of mass. The two stars are called a binary star in this case.
How do stars travel in space?
Stars travel in various ways. On the largest scale, the universe expands, and stars move away from each other. On smaller scales, stars are most often part of galaxies and they orbit the center of the galaxy, while the galaxies themselves often are in orbit around a center of gravity of a galactic cluster.
How do binary stars differ form the supernovas and novas?
binary stars are two stars that orbit each other while supernovas and novas stars are stars that explode when it runs out of fuel
What are two stars that go around each other?
Binary stars.
How many stars are there in a typical solar system?
Typically one, like ours. But it is possible to have binary or even trinary star systems as well, where the stars orbit each other, and the other objects in the system orbit the center of gravity between them.
Binary stars can be used to calculate the of stars?
Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.
What is the name When two stars merge to make one?
AnswerThey don't.The forces involved cause two meeting stars to interact violently. While one or both may survive in a badly damaged state, there is no neat merger.A binary star is where two stars orbit each other (at a distance) in a stable orbit.Two stars orbit around each other until they are so close and then i believe they make a black hole.OO i remember its a super nova.... they explode
