The advantage of supervised learning is that the proposed model contains ... with potential orbital periods ranging between 10 to 550 days for our sun, 10 to 300 days for Alpha Centauri B, and ...

Scientists studying data from the Alpha Centauri ... to the fact that the orbital pattern around its star means the planet might be frozen. Also, flares from the Proxima Centauri red dwarf that ...

Turbulent binary star systems, such as our closest stellarneighbor, Alpha Centauri, could host Earth ... The scientists built a computer model to test the birth ofbaby solar systems around binary ...

The beam loses coherence past this distance, so that's what we'll have to take. Alpha Centauri is just over four light-years away, so at 0.2c the team estimate their sail probes could reach Alpha ...

Astronomers have found evidence of a third planet circling Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star ... “habitable zone,” the just-right range of orbital distances where liquid water could exist ...
