AM Herculis is a binary variable star located in the constellation Hercules. This star, along with the star AN Ursae Majoris, is the prototype for a category...

These binary systems usually have orbital periods of under 2.5 hours. DQ Herculis systems are interacting binaries in which a low-mass star transfers mass...
