KIC 9832227 is a contact binary star system in the constellation Cygnus, located about 2,060 light-years away. It is also identified as an eclipsing binary with an orbital period of almost 11 hours.
An eclipsing binary star is a binary star system in which the orbital plane of the two stars lies so nearly in the line of sight of the observer that the components undergo mutual eclipses. [20] In the case where the binary is also a spectroscopic binary and the parallax of the system is known, the binary is quite valuable for stellar analysis.

CoRoT-7 (TYC 4799-1733-1) is a binary star system made up of a late G-type star [1] and a M-dwarf star that was discovered in 2021. [3] The primary star has three exoplanets, [5] including CoRoT-7b, a super-Earth exoplanet that is remarkable due to its extremely high temperature (around 2000 °C) and very short orbital period, around 20 hours.
Algol variables or Algol-type binaries are a class of eclipsing binary stars that are similar to the prototype member of this class, β Persei (Beta Persei, Algol). An Algol binary is a system where both stars are near-spherical such that the timing of the start and end of the eclipses is well-defined.
The most common kinds of binary system are binary stars and binary asteroids, but brown dwarfs, planets, neutron stars, black holes and galaxies can also form binaries. A multiple system is similar but consists of three or more objects, for example triple stars and triple asteroids (a more common term than 'trinary').
TOI-1338 is a binary star system located in the constellation Pictor, about 1,320 light-years from Earth. It is orbited by two known circumbinary planets , TOI-1338 b , discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [ 2 ] and BEBOP-1c, discovered by the Binaries Escorted By Orbiting Planets project.
Epsilon Canis Majoris is a binary star system and the second-brightest star in the constellation of Canis Major. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinised from ε Canis Majoris, and abbreviated Epsilon CMa or ε CMa. This is the 22nd-brightest star in the night sky with an apparent magnitude of 1.50.
