4. More than half of the known stars actually consist of 2 or more stars in orbit about each other, and in our own case Jupiter might be considered a failed solar companion. There are presently 13 known multi-planet systems.

5. Correlation with Metallicity of Star
Mstar = Fe/Hstar / Fe/Hsun
Approximately 210 planets have now been discovered in orbit about 10 different nearby stars, whose light spectrum are relatively rich in metals (metallicity ~ MSol).

6. Extra Solar Planets by Mass and Distance
Because of the limits of detection, most of these new planets are relatively large (similar to Jupiter in size), but there is a rapid drop off in examples with masses greater than ~ 10Jupiter (the critical mass for deuterium fusion and the formation of so called brown dwarf stars is ~ 13Jupiter), despite the greater ease of detecting larger.

8. Habitable Extra Solar Planets ?
Approximately 1/4 of the new planets that have been discovered fall within the water window in terms of distance form their suns, and thus temperature, and they or their satellites may well be capable of supporting life as we know it.
