Two or more stars bound together and catalogued as a single system, from binary and eclipsing binary pairs through triple, quadruple and sextuple systems to optical doubles.

Does not belong here: a single star described on its own, grouped under Stars, or a cluster of many unrelated stars sharing a common origin, grouped under Star Clusters.
