We present the most comprehensive near-ultraviolet (NUV: 2550-3255 Angstrom) activity record to date for the Alpha Centauri AB system, combining archival IUE and HST observations spanning nearly five decades with […]
Alpha Centauri
Star-planet Interaction In The Proxima System
(Abridged) We search for evidence of star-planet magnetic interactions in the nearby Proxima Centauri planetary system using high-quality, high-spectral-resolution optical observations.
Science From The In Situ Exploration Of Tthe Proxima Centauri System
In the future interstellar exploration at near-relativistic speeds will be possible using beamed energy laser propulsion.
Icy Flow In A Crater On Mars
The material on the floor of this crater appears to have flowed like ice, and contains pits that might result from sublimation of subsurface ice. The surface is entirely dust-covered […]
The TOLIMAN Mission: A Low-cost Space Telescope For High Precision Narrow-angle Astrometry
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustive search for temperate-orbit […]
A Mapping Method Of Age Estimation For Binary Stars: Application To The Alpha Centauri System A And B
Given the wealth of data provided by Gaia and the upcoming PLATO mission, it is essential to improve stellar models to obtain accurate stellar ages. Our objective is to apply […]
Dale Andersen’s Astrobiology Antarctic Status Report: 14 January 2026: Setting Up Base Camp At Lake Untersee
Hi Keith, Since our arrival we have been working hard to get shelter in place. That is always our first priority: establish safe, warm protection from the elements, then we […]
Seeking The Worlds Of Avatar: Prospects for Detecting Moons Orbiting a Giant Planet in Alpha Centauri A’s Habitable Zone
Nearby giant exoplanets offer an opportunity to search for moons (exomoons) orbiting them. Here, we present a simulation framework for investigating the possibilities of detecting exomoons via their astrometric signal […]
Webb Finds New Evidence For A Large Planet Orbiting in The Habitable Zone Of Alpha Centauri A
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the stellar system closest to our own Sun. At just […]
Worlds Next Door: A Candidate Giant Planet Imaged in the Habitable Zone of α Cen A. I. Observations, Orbital and Physical Properties, and Exozodi Upper Limits
We report on coronagraphic observations of the nearest solar-type star, α Cen A, using the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope.
