Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming workshop "The Alpha Centauri
System: Towards new worlds" which will take place in Nice, France between
the 26 - 30 June 2023.

The Alpha Centauri system is the reference system for comparative
exoplanetology and stellar physics. It comprises a Sun-like star (A), a
cooler K star (B), and a red dwarf (Proxima) around which at least two
Earth-like planets have been detected.  Due to its proximity and the
possibility to observe it using a multitude of techniques, the components
of this triple-star system are certainly the stars that are known best
beyond the Sun.  The system attracts interest from many astrophysical
domains, from detection and characterisation of planets, determination of
accurate fundamental parameters, to a detailed characterisation of its
surface.   The system is also an attractive target for many of the most
modern observatories e.g. VLTI, HST, ALMA, and soon the JWST.

The goal of this workshop is to gather experts in various fields (stellar,
exoplanet, instrumentation) to share expertise to improve our knowledge of
the system, and define the route for detection and characterization of
other worlds similar to those in this system

The workshop will also celebrate the career of Frédéric Thévenin, who has
contributed significantly to the knowledge of this system over his career.

Best regards,

--
