The larger more formed star would absorb the smaller star, I'm pretty sure having two stars that close is impossible.

Which are the pair of stars that travel together and rotate around each other as the moon does the earth?

There are a great number of "binary" stars, but you generally need a good telescope to see that there is more than one star. One naked-eye set is the second star from the end of the Big Dipper's handle; it has a dim companion that can be seen only on clear, dark nights. Telescopes show this system has six stars, but four are much too dim for eyes or even binoculars. Also, stars do not 'rotate' around each other; they 'revolve' around each other. Rotating is spinning in place, and revolving is circling around repeatedly.


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.


Why do planets wander?

The ancient Greeks called planets 'wanderers' because they appear to move through ther skies in relation to the 'fixed' stars. The apparent movement is because the planets are much closer to the Earth than the stars, and all planets rotate around the Sun, thus all move in relation to each other.

How can stars remain in the same position in the sky?

Stars all appear to revolve around the sky each day as the Earth revolves, but relative to each other the stars stay 'fixed'. That is because they are so distant it takes years for any of them to move appreciably.
