Radial velocity measurements of Alpha Centauri B with High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher spectrograph ruled out planets of more than 4 M ⊕ to the distance of the habitable zone of the star (
orbital period P = 200 days).
On March 5, 2015, a team of astronomers announced that numerical simulations constrain the size of planetary candidate Alpha Centauri Bb (with
orbital period P = 3.24 days; and semi-major axis a = 0.042 AU) to less than 2.7 Earth - masses at an inclination of 45 to 53 degrees relative to Stars» AB orbital plane (Plavchan et al, 2015).

The elliptical orbit, called
P / 2, is exactly half of the moon's
orbital period; this means that TESS will orbit Earth every 13.7 days.
