Proxima Centraui b: Our next door neighbour

Yiannis Tsapras , ARI

The Pale Red Dot campaign (20 Jan-31 Mar 2016) was an international search for a terrestrial exoplanet around Proxima Centauri. Radial velocity measure- ments were obtained with the HARPS spectrograph on ESO's 3.6m telescope at La Silla and simultaneous photometric observations were collected with the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) telescope network and the ASH2 0.4m tele- scope in Chile. The project included a signi cant outreach component which aimed to educate, inspire and inform the public througout the campaign. I will present a summary of the campaign and report on the discovery of planet Proxima Centauri b.
