    Wow, that's amazing! The contact binaries look like they're in the process of merging, I wonder if there will be any large effect on the rest of the system stability if/when this finally happens.

    I wonder if the system formed in a star cluster and then migrated out.

    The article doesn't really touch on the mass of the stars. But if the illustrations are fairly accurate then they are likely class k stars or smaller.
