Take an Epic Journey to Proxima Centauri B | The Closest Exoplanet to Earth! (4K)

Come with me on an epic journey through time and space, from Earth to a small red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri. The closest star to the Sun. In this experience, you will fly faster than the speed of light out of the solar system, to our neighbouring star, where you will find an exoplanet called Proxima Centauri B. A potentially Earth-like planet that may have the right conditions for liquid water and possibly even life. Here you will observe the mysterious world and find out what we know about it.

You probably should have made it clear for people who don't know that Proxima is a binary system, Proxima A the main component is a main sequence star similar to our sun in size and luminosity, Proxima B is a red dwarf that orbits Proxima A at the distance of about 23 sun to earth distances.

[@xpertran]

Proxima Cent. Is not a binary star, but Alpha Cent. is, and the pair have been named as Alpha A and Alpha B. They orbit each other taking arorund 88 years or so in an elliptical orbit. Alpha Centaurii A is roughly the same size as our Sun, is like our Sun an orange star. (surface temp. is around 6000 C) is the SECOND OR third NEAREST STAR to us, depending on where it is located in tin its 88 year travel orbital path with its companion star Alpha Centauri B.. This binary (pair) is around 0,25 light years farther than Proxima Centauri which is NEAREST to us, and is ACTUALLY THE THIRD MEMBER of the ALPHA CENTAURI SYSTEM and takes some half a miilion years s or so to complete a single trip around A and B. In fact one must have a sizeable data about is orbit in order to precisely state its orbital period . Now, Proxima Centauri B is one of the EXOPLANETS FOUND recently using the latest technology of finding EXOPLANETS around the stars and about 3000 of them have been identified till now. In good time PROXIMA will become THIRD member surrendering the FIRST and SECOND places to ALPHA CENT. A and ALPHA CENT. B, say in about a half a millions years !

[@user-gp3hv9fz2d]

Exoplanets is and will always be a fascinating subject of research. Personally, as an amateur astronomer, I have spent years on data analysis, mathematical simulations of planetary systems and their dynamics, habitable zones, etc etc. As of the star Proxima itself, we have to mention a very important parameter: It is a flare star that "burps" very frequently, so the charged particles and X-ray emission is very strong and relatively constant. For the history to be reminded, on May 1st, 2019, the star "burped" (flared) for 7 seconds and this flare was ~100 times stronger than the strongest flare the Sun ever did. This made Proxima 14000 times more luminous at UV wavelengths, for those hellish 7 seconds. Based on that and that it flares a lot every year, normally no possibility for any kind of life there. Oh, and a necessary correction: This planet is not 1.27 X heavier than Earth, but 1.071 (or 0.00337 Jupiters), according the most recent paper of February 10 2022. This means the planet is 1.15 times the Earth's radius. The result is a density of 3.88 g/cm^3, close to that of Mars which has a density of 3.94 g/cm^3.

[@badmonkey2222]

Proxima is also a binary system which they failed to mention in this video. Proxima A the main component is a yellow/white main sequence star that's about the same size and luminosity as our sun. Proxima B is the red dwarf mentioned here which is in a close orbit around Proxima A of about 23 earth to sun distances.

[@user-gp3hv9fz2d]

@@badmonkey2222 Actually a trinary system, with A and B components (of spectral types G and K respectively) close to each other, and C, the Proxima itself, much further away from the other two. If the whole Alpha Centauri system can be called Proxima im general (because of its proximity to the Sun, in cosmic terms), the star mentioned here is actually the C, or simply the 3rd one.

[@aaronsmith3484]

I have to ask because I’m pretty new to this subject and you seem to know your stuff, if proxima b had a strong magnetosphere could that prevent the atmosphere being torn away by the flares and would the dark side of the planet receive less radiation from the star on the surface?

[@badmonkey2222]

@@user-gp3hv9fz2d you're correct and that there are three stars in the system but only A and B form the binary component. Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, stars forming an inner binary, and Proxima Centauri, an outer star that orbits around the inner binary. so technically the inner two stars form the binary component because they orbit each other and the outlying star on its own orbits them both, so it's technically a standalone star but part of the same system of course.

[@user-gp3hv9fz2d]

@@aaronsmith3484 A strong magnetic field is present as your planet is far from the star, so spin of the planet is necessary to produce it, PLUS the necessity of a core consisted of ferromagnetic materials in a liquid state. But, even IF the planet has a ferromagnetic core in liquid state, then again it can not produce a magnetic field (or, in the best case, if it has any it will be extremely weak) because of a major obstacle: Tidal friction. Tidal friction stops the planet's spinning (and as a result, the production of a magnetic field) the closer it is to its host star. Given the very small distance to its star, the planet definitely does not spin. To make it simple: the bigger the distance, the stronger the magnetic field because the less tidal friction is caused by the main mass of the whole system.

Even with a strong magnetic field, Proxima B would still have to deal with the main problem of red dwarf stars. And that is that Proxima is a "flare star".
