The nearest ones to us are:
- Sirius- Binary
- Arcturus - Possible binary
- Alpha Centauri A
- Rigel - Binary
- Procyon - Binary
- Achernar - Binary
Answer:
Alpha Centuri is not a binary star system as it contains three stars, not two. Proximia Centuri aka Alpha Centuri C is the closest star to us. Alpha Centuri A and Alpha Centuri B are the other two stars.

What are the different kinds of solar system?
"solar system" is the term used to describe planets orbiting a star. We know that planets also orbit binary and tertiary star systems, these would be different kinds of solar systems.
Is vega star a part of a binary or multiple system?
No - it is a single star system
Who is one of the propounders of the binary star theories?
All serious astronomers realize that there are binary stars.
Is the main difference between a pulsar and a binary system that a pulsar is made up of two neutron stars and that a binary system is made of of two normal stars?
Not exactly, while a pulsar is a specific type of neutron star (that being a "spinning neutron star") and a binary system is a pair of stars orbiting each other, a pulsar does not need to be part of a binary system. It would be possible, however to have a binary system with one of the pair being a pulsar and the other a neutron star (assumed to be the non-spinning or "normal neutron star" variety).
How many Star Wars planets are there?
The Star Wars galaxy literally contains millions of inhabited systems.
How many systems do most stars have?
It varies.About 50% of all star system have a single star, the rest are usually binary stars, though there are multiple > 2 star systems.
The mass of a star can be determined by studying?
binary star systems
Are all binary stars part of star systems explain?
Yes all binary stars are part of the star system because all galaxies and universes have stars and you have to have at least two stars for it to be binary stars.
How can stellar masses be determined by observing binary star systems?
Stellar masses can be determined by observing binary star-systems. The calculations of the orbits of the binary stars allow the masses of their component stars to be directly determined, which in turn allows other stellar parameters, such as radius and density, to be indirectly estimated.
Do scientist believe a binary star produces a nova?
A binary star may, or may not, be related to a nova or supernova. In some specific cases, a supernova is specifically caused by a close binary system; but not all binary systems result in novas, and not all novas come from binary stars.
How many stars make up binary star?
By definition, a binary star system has two stars in it.
What are binary star systems?
its two stars that share the same orbit around each other
Are all stars single?
Current observation suggest that about 50% of all star systems are binary stars.
Is there a mini solar system or binary star system in our solar system?
No. There is one star in our solar system, and no other solar systems within it.
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.
How many black holes make one binary system?
well you wouldn't need any to make a black holes to make binary systems but what do make binary systems are two stars.
Does every star have a planetary system?
With current evidence, the answer is no. Whilst many stars will have a planetary system (Solar System) many will not. The prime candidates for not having any planets are binary and multiple star systems. This is because the gravitation tug of the multiple stars, inhibits planet formation. Our closest star system, Alpha Centaur which is a binary system, has failed to produce any planets, whereas further away stars have, This seems to suggest that the theory is at least partly true. Planets have been found in binary systems, but they are rare. So: Not all stars have planets.
