The possible existence of binary clusters in our Galaxy (h and x Persei, Ocl 556) has been argued in the past, but it has never been a well established fact either in our Galaxy, or in external systems. An early speculation on the problem by Innanen et al (1972) has predicted a considerable degree of stability for binary clusters in low nuclear density galaxies, like the LMC.
