Binary star systems are a crucial subject in astrophysics, as they provide insights into stellar formation, evolution, and dynamics. Despite extensive research, there remains a gap in understanding the factors influencing the longterm stability of such systems. This paper discusses the factors that may affect the stability of binary star systems by analyzing and exploring the physical laws and formulas of the operation of binary star systems and using the operation data of specific binary star systems as evidence. It can be concluded that the factors affecting the stability of a binary star system may be as follows: 1. Mass ratio of two stars, 2. Stellar spacing, 3. Orbital eccentricity, 4. Influence of stellar evolution stage, 5. The influence of external bodies. Future research should further explore the combined effects of these factors in more complex systems to better understand binary star stability in various astrophysical environments. Additionally, understanding how these factors interact in multi-body systems could provide deeper insights into the evolution of complex stellar systems.
