1. multiple starnoun

   Multiple stars which form a stellar system, such that they orbit the point of equilibrium of their gravitational fields; a multiple star system.

2. multiple starnoun

   Multiple stars that appear to be one when seen with the naked eye, either because they orbit one another (multiple star systems) or happen to be in the same line of sight even though they are separated by a great distance.

1. multiple star

   A star system or stellar system is a small number of stars that orbit each other, bound by gravitational attraction. A large group of stars bound by gravitation is generally called a star cluster or galaxy, although, broadly speaking, they are also star systems. Star systems are not to be confused with planetary systems, which include planets and similar bodies (such as comets). A star system of two stars is known as a binary star, binary star system or physical double star. If there are no tidal effects, no perturbation from other forces, and no transfer of mass from one star to the other, such a system is stable, and both stars will trace out an elliptical orbit around the barycenter of the system indefinitely. (See Two-body problem). Examples of binary systems are Sirius, Procyon and Cygnus X-1, the last of which probably consists of a star and a black hole.

1. multiple star

   A multiple star is a star system that consists of three or more stars that are gravitationally bound together and usually orbit a common center of mass. These star systems often appear as a single point of light in the sky but can be resolved into separate components through a telescope.

1. Multiple star

   A multiple star consists of three or more stars which appear from the Earth to be close to one another in the sky. This may result from the stars being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is physical, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case the multiple star is optical. Physical multiple stars are also commonly called multiple stars or multiple star systems. Most multiple star systems are triple stars, also called trinary or ternary. Systems with four or more components are less likely to occur. Multiple stars have sizes intermediate between binary systems, with two stars in a stable orbit, and open star clusters, which have more complex dynamics and typically have from 100 to 1,000 stars. They can be divided into two classes corresponding dynamically to these two extremes. Most multiple stars are organized in a hierarchical manner, with smaller orbits nested inside larger orbits. In these systems there is little interaction between the orbits and, as in binary stars, the orbits are stable. Other multiple stars, termed trapezia, are usually very young, unstable systems. These are thought to form in stellar nurseries, and quickly fragment into stable multiple stars, which in the process may eject components as galactic high velocity stars. An example of such a system is the Trapezium in the heart of the Orion nebula.

1. Gongjie Li:

   Multiple-star systems are common, and about 50 [percent] of stars have binary companion stars. So, this study can be applied to a large number of solar systems.
