Abstract
Recent discoveries, although indirect, of more than a dozen extrasolar planets allow us to expect the existence of planets around many stars other than the Sun. On an other hand, double (and multiple) star systems are established to be more abundant than single stars (such as the Sun), at least in the Solar Neighborhood.
