Abstract

The frequency of planets in binaries is an important issue in the field of extrasolar planet studies, because of its relevance in the estimate of the global planet population of our Galaxy and the clues it can give to our understanding of planet formation and evolution. Here we present an update of the results discussed in Bonavita & Desidera (2007) (hereafter BD07), where we reported the outcomes of our literature search for binaries and multiple systems among the sample with uniform detectability (UD) defined by Fischer & Valenti (2005) (hereafter FV05).
