< Glossary of Astronomical Terms(Redirected from GAT: trinary star)
Similar to a binary star, but with three stars that orbit around one another. Usually with two stars in the center and one star orbiting around the edge.
Trinary stars are also prone to eclipses which causes the magnitude of the star to vary.
