Observational advances over the last decade have enabled high-resolution, interferometric
studies of forming multiple systems, statistical surveys of multiplicity in star-forming regions …

This chapter reviews various methods of detecting planetary companions to stars from an
observational perspective, focusing on radial velocities, astrometry, direct imaging, transits …

We describe an online database for extrasolar planetary-mass candidates, which is updated
regularly as new data are available. We first discuss criteria for inclusion of objects in the …

Correlations between stellar properties and the occurrence rate of exoplanets can be used
to inform the target selection of future planet-search efforts and provide valuable clues about …

We present exoplanet occurrence rates estimated with approximate Bayesian computation
for planets with radii between 0.5 and 16 R⊕ and orbital periods between 0.78 and 400 …

We present exoplanets as new targets to discover dark matter (DM). Throughout the Milky
Way, DM can scatter, become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and increase the heat …

We present a catalog of nearby exoplanets. It contains the 172 known low-mass
companions with orbits established through radial velocity and transit measurements around …

The dynamical influence of binary companions is expected to profoundly influence planetary
systems. However, the difficulty of identifying planets in binary systems has left the …

The past decade has seen a revolution in our understanding of protoplanetary disk evolution
and planet formation in single-star systems. However, the majority of solar-type stars form in …

Recent surveys have revealed a lack of close-in planets around evolved stars more massive
than 1.2 M☉. Such planets are common around solar-mass stars. We have calculated the …
