Types of Binary Star Systems

Our solar system has just one star in it, the sun. But this is actually not the most common situation for systems. Most systems are multi-star systems, with binary systems being extremely common. These are systems where two stars orbit around their center of mass, and some of them even have planets. But we also know that stars come in so many varieties, due to their differing masses, and they leave behind different remnants. For this reason, there are a great many possible combinations of star types that produce different kinds of binary systems. What happens when you have a black hole and a main sequence star as a binary system? Or a pulsar and a red dwarf? How do the stars influence each others evolution? It's intense! Let's take a look.
