No Transits of Proxima Centauri Planets in High-Cadence TESS Data by Emily A. Gilbert, Emily A. Gilbert, Emily A. Gilbert, Emily A. Gilbert, Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Thomas Barclay, Ethan Kruse, Elisa V. Quintana, Lucianne M. Walkowicz

“…While recent work has shown that Proxima Centauri b likely does not transit, given the value of potential atmospheric observations via transmission spectroscopy of the closest possible Habitable Zone planet, we reevaluate the possibility that Proxima Centauri b is a transiting exoplanet using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). …”

The influence of a substellar continent on the climate of a tidally locked exoplane by Lewis, N, Lambert, F, Boutle, I, Mayne, N, Manners, J, Acreman, D

“…We choose to use the orbital and planetary parameters of Proxima Centauri B as a template, to allow comparison with the work of others. …”

A New 2D Energy Balance Model for Simulating the Climates of Rapidly and Slowly Rotating Terrestrial Planets by Ramses M. Ramirez

“…Here, I have specifically applied PlaHab to investigate the present Earth, early Mars, TRAPPIST-1 e, and Proxima Centauri b, representing examples of habitable (and potentially habitable) worlds in our solar system and beyond. …”

Traveling Planetary-scale Waves Cause Cloud Variability on Tidally Locked Aquaplanets by Maureen Cohen, Massimo A. Bollasina, Denis E. Sergeev, Paul I. Palmer, Nathan J. Mayne

“…We study this oscillation in simulations of Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1e, and rapidly rotating versions of these worlds located at the inner edge of their stars’ habitable zones. …”
