Proxima's orbit around Alpha Centauri
P. Kervella, F. Thévenin, C. Lovis
Proxima and Alpha Centauri AB have almost identical distances and proper motions with respect to the Sun. Although the probability of such similar parameters is in principle very l…

The radii and limb darkenings of Alpha Centauri A and B - Interferometric measurements with VLTI/PIONIER
P. Kervella, L. Bigot, A. Gallenne +1
The photospheric radius is one of the fundamental parameters governing the radiative equilibrium of a star. We report new observations of the nearest solar-type stars Alpha Centaur…

Close stellar conjunctions of alpha Centauri A and B until 2050 - An mK = 7.8 star may enter the Einstein ring of alpha Cen A in 2028
P. Kervella, F. Mignard, A. Mérand +1
The rapid proper motion of the alpha Cen pair (3.7 arcsec/yr) and its location close to the galactic plane on a rich stellar background combine to make them excellent candidates fo…
