Each is approximately 1.3 times heavier than our Sun, but they are only separated by about one solar diameter.“

That's the amazing thing to me.
That much mass moving at that speed, almost seems they would rip each other apart from gravitational fields alone.

Their surfaces have to be very physically warped and constantly changing.

I would imagine that they are seriously entwined, possibly on the verge of becoming a single entity.
