Clean up section: Binary stars, submitted by Sarah Weissman (STScI) 8/8/2016 #20

Closed katieefrey closed 6 years ago

Cleaned up binary star sections. There were some things that weren't under the Interacting binaries section that should be. Eruptive binaries is an uncommon term, so removed it. "Close binaries" and "Interacting binaries" are almost the same thing, but technically not. I was tempted to merge these into one category, but was advised to keep them separate by our scientists.

See attached for more detail. binarstarcleanup.xlsx

@seweissman What about the concept "two spectrum binary stars" is that a valid/useful concept? It seems synonymous with Spectroscopic binary stars. Also, it seems to return no useful hits in ADS.

branch modifications accepted. two-spectrum binary stars also deprecated, as noted in issue #111
