X-ray binary stars are basically X-ray sources that are members of a binary system.
They are a class of binary stars that produce a large quantity of X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one of the members, called the donor, which is usually a relatively normal star, to the other component, called the accretor, which is generally a collapsed star like a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.Â?
The fallen matter releases its gravitational potential energy as X-rays.
Note: A binary star system is a system containing two stars that orbit around their common center of mass.
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.
The masses of the two stars.
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.
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.

Binary stars
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.
Binary what? Binary numbers? Binary stars? Binary fission?
About 50% of all stars are binary stars - they all have different temperatures.

Binary stars are very useful for determining the mass of the stars and thus any objects orbiting around them.
"Binary" means there are two stars. And "protostar" means the stars are in an early, or preliminary, stage.
By definition, a binary star system has two stars in it.
