Scientific paper

It is shown on the basis of an investigation of the distribution of binary stars over a specific angular momentum that one out of every three stars can have a planetary system. The most efficient way to find such planetary systems around low-mass main-sequence stars (0.1-0.3 solar mass) is to search for occultations of stars by their nearby giant planets. It is shown that among stars with an apparent stellar magnitude of about 20 mag, there may be several planetary systems per square degree of the celestial sphere which are detectable from occultations of their central stars.
