Question
These systems are the typical holders of high values of Gaia's RUWE ("ROO-wee") statistic. Blue stragglers may form from these systems following the development of a common envelope. X-ray emissions result from the asymmetry of a compact object in these systems whose mass is typically measured up to a factor of the sine of the inclination angle. The "contact" type of these systems fill both of their (*) Roche lobes, facilitating mass transfer through the L1 Lagrange point. These non-planetary systems are "spectroscopic" when detected by changes in radial velocity, and are "visual" if the mutual orbit of their members can be observed directly. For 10 points, name these systems containing two stars. ■END■
ANSWER: stellar binaries [or binary stars or binary star systems or binary stellar systems; accept contact binaries or X-ray binaries or spectroscopic binaries or visual binaries; prompt on multiple stellar systems or multiple star systems or two-body systems; reject "double stars"]
