Triple stars and galaxies are referred to as having hierarchical or non-hierarchical structure. Thus, the dynamically stable and unstable triple systems are usually distinguished observationally by the ratio of the larger and smaller angular separation. However, (i) projection effects may hide the true configuration; and (ii) apparent hierarchical forms may occur in both types (Anosova 1986).
