That would be a binary star system. If one star is small compared to the other, they could be oberved as a Pulsar.

What term is given to a pair of stars that can determine are orbiting each other only by measuring their periodic Doppler shifts?

A pair of stars orbiting around each other are called binary stars.


What is the difference between binary star and optical double?

Binary stars are physically related stars that orbit each other due to mutual gravitational attraction, while optical doubles are stars that only appear to be close together in the sky but are not physically associated. Binary stars can be confirmed through their gravitational interaction, while optical doubles are simply a line-of-sight effect.

What is a triple star?

A triple star system is a system of three stars that are gravitationally bound to each other and orbit around a common center of mass. Triple stars can either be hierarchical, where two stars are closer to each other and the third is more distant, or trinary, where all three stars are relatively close to each other. Triple stars are relatively rare compared to binary stars.


When two stars are near each other and rotate around each other they form an?

When two stars are orbiting around each other, they form a binary star system. These systems are classified based on how close the stars are to each other, with categories like close binaries, wide binaries, and spectroscopic binaries. Binary star systems are important for studying stellar evolution and dynamics.

How long does it take for stars to revolve around the sun?

There is no other star that revolves around our sun. There are, however, many double and triple star systems in the universe, where the stars in the system revolve around each other.

Can stars orbit around each other?

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.
