The basic geometry of the Solar System—the shapes, spacings, and orientations of the planetary orbits—has long been a subject of fascination as well as inspiration for planet-formation theories. For exoplanetary systems, those same properties have only recently come into focus. Here we review our current knowledge of the occurrence of planets around other stars, their orbital distances and eccentricities, the orbital spacings and mutual inclinations in multiplanet systems, the orientation of the host star's rotation axis, and the properties of planets in binary-star systems.

Predictions of the WFIRST Microlensing Survey. I. Bound Planet Detection Rates (2018, background): “…at small to moderate separations from ground-based radial velocity surveys of planetary systems in the solar neighborhood (e.g., Udry & Santos 2007; Winn & Fabrycky 2015), and direct imaging studies of young planets at large separations (e.g., Bowler 2016), are beginning to reveal the complex…”
Imaging Extrasolar Giant Planets (2016, background): “…the ubiquity of super-Earths, compact systems of small planets, resonant configurations, orbital misalignments, the prevalence of habitable-zone Earth-sized planets, circumbinary planets, and featureless clouds and hazes are an incomplete inventory within just a few AU (e.g., Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
Astrochemistry and compositions of planetary systems (2020, background): “Many of these exoplanets are strange compared to expectations from the solar system (Winn and Fabrycky 2015; Dawson and Johnson 2018), and planetary compositions are emerging as a major tool to constrain the origins of specific planets, as”
Hints for a Turnover at the Snow Line in the Giant Planet Occurrence Rate (2018, result): “The analysis of these RV data has established that GPs are much rarer than the Neptune and Super-Earths detected by Kepler with an occurrence of only ∼10% within a few years (see e.g., Table 1 in Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
IN SITU FORMATION AND DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF HOT JUPITER SYSTEMS (2015, background): “Instead, hot “SuperEarths,” planets with P < 100 days and m < 30M⊕ are extremely common, with 30-50% of main sequence stars in the solar neighborhood serving as hosts (Fressin et al. 2013; Dressing and Charbonneau 2013, 2015; Petigura et al. 2013; Mulders et al. 2015; Winn and Fabrycky 2015).”
About 30% of Sun-like Stars Have Kepler-like Planetary Systems: A Study of Their Intrinsic Architecture (2018, background): “(23) This is a factor of ∼two lower than previous estimates (Fressin et al. 2013; Petigura et al. 2013; Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
The Disk Substructures at High Angular Resolution Project (DSHARP). II. Characteristics of Annular Substructures (2018, background): “Exoplanet surveys have uncovered remarkable diversity in the masses, radii, and composition of exoplanets, as well as in the overall architectures of exoplanetary systems (e.g., Howard et al. 2010; Borucki et al. 2011; Winn & Fabrycky 2015; Fulton et al. 2017).”
Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70 (2018, background): “More than two decades after the first detection of an extrasolar planet (Mayor & Queloz 1995), we are facing an extraordinary diversity of planetary system architectures (Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
ALMA SURVEY OF LUPUS PROTOPLANETARY DISKS. I. DUST AND GAS MASSES (2016, background): “The space-based Kepler transit survey (Borucki et al. 2010) and long-term ground-based radial velocity surveys (Howard et al. 2010; Mayor et al. 2011) have opened the field of exoplanet statistics, revealing an unexpected diversity in exoplanet systems (Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
The Solar Neighborhood. XLV. The Stellar Multiplicity Rate of M Dwarfs Within 25 pc (2019, background): “…doubles, and higher order multiples also provides clues about the angular momentum distribution in stellar systems and can constrain whether or not planets may be found in these systems (Holman & Wiegert 1999; Raghavan et al. 2010; Wang et al. 2014; Winn & Fabrycky 2015; Kraus et al. 2016).”
How to Characterize Habitable Worlds and Signs of Life (2017, background): “Exoplanets have also been found orbiting binaries and higher order systems (e.g., reviewed in Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
A NEARBY M STAR WITH THREE TRANSITING SUPER-EARTHS DISCOVERED BY K2 (2015, background): “The previous record-holder for a close period ratio is the Kepler-36 system (Carter et al. 2012; Winn & Fabrycky 2014), whose two planets exhibit a considerably larger period ratio of 1.17 and transit timing variations of many hours.”
Gaps and Rings in an ALMA Survey of Disks in the Taurus Star-forming Region (2018, background): “We follow the diagnostic used in planet– disk interaction simulations (the separation of ring and gap normalized to gap location) to infer planet mass and find that super-Earths and Neptunes are good candidates if disk turbulence is low (α=10−4), in line with the most common type of planets discover”
Is Proxima Centauri b Habitable? A Study of Atmospheric Loss (2017, background): “Currently, thousands of exoplanets with diverse characteristics have been detected (Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
Compact Disks in a High-resolution ALMA Survey of Dust Structures in the Taurus Molecular Cloud (2019, background): “The rich diversity in exoplanetary systems (see review by Winn & Fabrycky 2015) must have its origin, at least in part, when planets are still forming in their natal protoplanetary disks.”
A STEEPER THAN LINEAR DISK MASS–STELLAR MASS SCALING RELATION (2016, background): “The number of known exoplanets has grown exponentially in the past decade, revealing systems that are unlike our solar system (e.g., Winn & Fabrycky 2015).”
