Notes. (a) Mean time of each observing session, given in days, in April 2017. (b) Orbital phase of Proxima b, measured from 0 to 1. (c)Orbital phase of Proxima b, measured in degrees from 0 to 360. (d)Total flux density of Proxima. For non-detections 3σ upper limits are given. (e)rms of total flux density. (f)Circularly polarized flux density. For non-detections we give 3σ upper limits to its absolute value. (g)rms of circularly polarized flux density. (h)Fraction of circular polarization (V/I). When I is detected, but not V, we give upper limits to the polarization fraction as 3 × rms(V)∕I. (i) 1σ uncertainty on the fraction of circular polarization, pV. (j) For the epoch April 15.675, the low-frequency data had to be severely flagged, so obtaining an image was not possible.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
