XO-2 S, a Sun-like G-type star of 0.98 solar masses, and XO-2 S b, a 0.26-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 18.2 days, at 0.135 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.15).

YZ Cet, a cool M-dwarf of 0.14 solar masses, and YZ Cet b, a 0.7-Earth-mass planet, with an orbital period of 2.0 days, at 0.016 AU from its star, and an equilibrium temperature near 471 K, on an eccentric.

rho CrB, a Sun-like G-type star of 1.00 solar masses with 3 confirmed companions (rho CrB e, rho CrB b, rho CrB c) on NASA archive orbits.

Tau Ceti, the nearest single Sun-like star. Its compact super-Earths make this neighbor a long-standing target in the search for nearby worlds.

Upsilon Andromedae, the first multi-planet system found around a main-sequence star. Three giants on mutually tilted, eccentric orbits tug one another.
