Is there a scientific term for this type of system?

A solar system is something very different from a galaxy. A galaxy usually has millions or billions of stars ... A solar system with two or more suns is maybe not at all possible (because the planets would be torn by the tidal forces); if it is possible (a few are claimed to be found), it is a binary system, or multiple(-star) system.

A solar system is a satellite system and obeys Newtons laws.
A galaxy is made up of billions of solar systems and does not obey Newtons laws,in that the outer arms are locked in step with the galactic center and do not fly away.
A two star system is a binary system.
If it had planets it's existence would be very complicated.
Three could happen but four is extremely unlikely.

A solar system with two stars is called a 'binary system.' Our own solar system would have been a 'binary system' if Jupiter had about 80% more mass. Then it too would have been a star.

Basically our Solar system is Unique in the Universe.
What we observe in the night sky is basiclly stars and clusters of stars which we call Galaxy.
If two stars would be close enough to revolve around a common barry center ,they would be called binary stars.
If two galaxies were to orbit each other they would be called binary galaxies.

It's a binary system.

There probably isn't a term for this phenomenon but if there HAS to be an answer, I think it would include the word binary or any word derivable from the root word.
