Nothing usually happens in a binary systems when a star becomes a giant except when two stars are orbiting each other and the one star become a giant it will contract and expand due to the nuclear fusion and it will interact with the other star and will cause a phenomena known as a nova.

Why all of the observed stellar -remmant black-hole candidates members of close binary systems?
Those are easier to observe than an isolated black hole, because the black holes are usually discovered because of infalling matter that emits X-rays, or because other objects move around an invisible object (the black hole).
Could a planetary system exist around Alpha Centauri?
One would have hoped so - being the closest star system to us. However, it appears that this is not the case, and not surprisingly. Alpha Centauri is a binary star system, and because of that, the chances of any planets existing close to the pair is very slim because of the orbital path of the stellar pair. See related link for more information.
Is proxima centauri a binary star system or a triple star system?
Let's get our nomenclature right here. Alpha Centauri is a triple star system: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are a fairly close double of stars roughly like the Sun, and Alpha Centauri C is a much dimmer red dwarf orbiting the pair at a considerably greater distance. It just so happens that C's orbit brings it at times closer to the Sun than any other star that we currently know about. So Alpha Centauri C is sometimes itself called Proxima.
What happens when the AV valves are Ventricular contraction?
the valves close
Do planets come close to Polaris?
The star Polaris may have its own planetary system. Certainly none in our solar system come close to it
What happens to a star when it becomes a giant if it has a close binary companion?
Matter can be transferred from the giant to the companion
What is a binary star system from the astronomical point of view?
A binary star system is a system of two stars in space which are so close to each other that their gravitational interaction causes them to orbit around a common center of mass.
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.
Will the Sun explode once it becomes a white dwarf?
No. White dwarfs can only produce explosions in close binary systems.
Is there ever going to be a blackhole near your solar system?
There may already be one. The nearest black hole known is a few thousand light years away, but it is easier to find black hole if they are part of a close binary system. A single star converting to a black hole, or a part of a binary system where the components are not very near, would be difficult to detect.There may already be one.

What happens to metals once it rusts?
well, when metal rusts, it sort of becomes weaker, and for example, the hinges on your door, it becomes squeaky when you open and close it
What happens to volume in a close system?
If a system is closed, the volume is fixed. Without more information, this is about the best answer we can provide. In a closed system, nothing gets in and nothing gets out. The volume of the system is thus fixed as well by the fact that we are (as stated) closing the system.
What is a binary star system?
'Bi' means two(2) . So a Binary Star System is two stars rotating about each other. In space the star Procyon, in the 'Little Dog ' Comnstelltion is a binary system. Procyon A is the Main Star and it has procyon B revolving around Procyon A They are commonly referred to as the Little Dog, and the Pup. Much nearer to home, The Earth and the Moon are thought to be a planetary binary system, because our moon is so large, compared to other moons and planets, that the Earth moves against the Moon too!!!!!
What are the three stars of the Centauri system?
Alpha Centauri, Beta Centauri, and Proxima Centauri. Of the three, Proxima is the closest to us, hence the name (which means "nearest"). There is some dispute as to whether the system is actually a trinary star system, or a binary star system with Proxima as a relatively close neighbor that doesn't significantly interact with Alpha and Beta. As a result, the system is sometimes referred to as "AB Centauri", which designates a binary system.
What are some stars that orbit other stars?
When two stars orbit one another it is referred to as a binary star system. Some examples of binary star systems are Albiero in the constellation Cygnus, Sirius located in Canis Major, and Epsilon Aurigae in the constellation Auriga. Another example of a binary star system, which is in close proximity to our solar system (11.7 +/-0.3 Ly), is Gliese A and B, which are the host of a super-earth exoplanet.
What stage is the star Capella in right now?
Capella is in fact a quad star system, and not one star.One binary pair are still on the main sequence and close to becoming red giants.The other binary pair, are red dwarfs and will stay that way for trillions of years.
