A binary star.
That's called a binary star. Since the mass of the two stars is fairly similar (not nearly as much mass difference as between the Sun and Earth, for example), both are in orbit; it is more accurate to say that both stars move around the common center of mass.That's called a binary star.

Higher mass stars "burn" faster due to the increased pressure in the core.
High-mass stars
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
They produce light.
The more mass a star has the less time it has to live or "be a star." The less mass a star has the longer it has to live.
White dwarfs are the remnants of dead low to medium mass stars, which is the mass range of the majority of stars.
In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.
Ultimately the mass a star has at the end of its life depends on its initial mass. This mass determines what stages a star will go through in its death throws.
As stars burn, they shed matter, becoming less massive slowly throughout their life cycle. This reduction in mass necessarily lessens their gravity, causing the stars' diameter to increase. So, many end-stage stars will be huge and bloated. Massive red giant stars are examples of this.

A binary star.
That means that two stars are close together, orbiting their common center of mass.
An isolated and distinct mass of stars is a galaxy.
All stars spend the majority of their lives on the main sequence. Once high mass stars have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores they expand into much larger red or blue supergiant stars.
