The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1,033 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
A multiple star system consists of two or more stars that appear from Earth to be close to one another in the sky. [dubious – discuss] This may result from the stars actually being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is a physical multiple star, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case it is an optical multiple star [a] Physical multiple ...
This category is for multiple star systems with confirmed planetary systems, categorized by number of stars. Subcategories This category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
The planets orbit their central star in a rhythmic beat, a rare case of an ‘in sync’ gravitational lockstep.
The default system the systemic software opens with is "14Her" or 14 Herculis.There are some 20 "unique" posted possible solutions with only a general idea of "goodness of fit" to help decide favored solutions (the best solution posted so far is by user EricFDiaz who has a three-planet system to explain the curve of the velocities of the star over time).
An artist's concept of a planetary system. A planetary system is a set of gravitationally bound non-stellar bodies in or out of orbit around a star or star system.Generally speaking, systems with one or more planets constitute a planetary system, although such systems may also consist of bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids, natural satellites, meteoroids, comets, planetesimals [1] [2] and ...

This category is for physical multiple stars, i.e., small groups of three or more close stars gravitationally bound to each other. Optical companions (stars that appear to be close together but are physically unrelated) do not count. Star systems placed here should be categorized by their number of components.
