A major new collaboration between astronomers has revealed insights into the formation and evolution of binary stars. The collaboration, called the Binary Science Collaboration (BiSC), has been studying the behavior of binary stars in a variety of ways. The result of their work is a trove of data that provides new insight into the formation of binary star systems and their evolution over time. The team has used a combination of observations and computer simulations to look at the behavior of binary stars in detail. By studying the orbital motion and the activity of the stars, they have uncovered important information about how they form and how they interact with each other over time. This new insight into binary star systems can help inform our understanding of star formation in general.
