Figure 16: The position of the center of one BS within an orbiting binary as a function of time for the two cases: (i) [B-B] identical BSs and (ii) [B-poB] opposite phase pair. Notice that the orbits are essentially identical at early times (and large separations), but that they start to deviate from each other on closer approach. This is consistent with the internal structure of each member of the binary being irrelevant at large separations. Reprinted with permission from [173]; copyright by APS.
