Catalog Service: VRIZJHK photometry around Alpha Cen
Description
Thanks to its proximity, alpha Centauri is an outstanding target for an imaging search for extrasolar planets. We searched for faint comoving companions to alpha Cen located at angular distances of a few tens of arcseconds, up to 2-3 arcmin. We obtained CCD images from the NTT-SUSI2 instrument in the Bessel V, R, I, and Z bands, and archive data from 2MASS.
