Proxima Centauri b Proxima Centauri b Proxima Centauri b (also called Proxima b or Alpha Centauri Cb) is an exoplanet orbiting in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, which is the closest star to the Sun and part of a triple star system. It is located about 4.2 light-years (1.3 parsecs, 40 trillion km, or 25 trillion miles) from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus, making it the closest known exoplanet to the Solar System. Proxima Centauri b orbits the star at a distance of roughly with an orbital period of approximately 11.2 Earth days, and has an estimated
3-j symbol and formula_21 integers. Similar relations exist for the spin-weighted spherical harmonics if formula_22: For formula_25 a non-zero 3-"j" symbol has where formula_27 and formula_28 is a Wigner function. Generally a better approximation obeying the Regge symmetry is given by where formula_30. The following quantity acts as a metric tensor in angular momentum theory and is also known as a "Wigner 1-jm symbol", It can be used to perform time-reversal on angular momenta. Wigner 3-j symbols are related to Racah -coefficients by a simple phase: 3-j symbol In quantum mechanics, the Wigner 3-j symbols, also called 3"-jm" symbols, are an alternative
