The masses of the two stars.
Two stars orbiting each other are "binary stars" ...a group of stars near each other, may be formally or informally known as a "cluster".

There are lots of binary stars. Doing a search on "binary stars" should get you several. It seems that binary (or multiple) stars are about as common as single stars; at least, they are in the same order of magnitude.
Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.
If the binary stars were of too high luminosity it would be impossible to distinguish the two through vision alone. Therefore most visual binary stars are of low luminosity.

Luminosity
Binary stars are ideal to determine the mass of the components.
Binary stars can be any color that stars can be. There's no need for the two stars in a binary to be the same color.

Yes all binary stars are part of the star system because all galaxies and universes have stars and you have to have at least two stars for it to be binary stars.
About 50% of all stars are binary stars - they all have different temperatures.
