It is a triple star system, consisting of three stars: Alpha Centauri A (officially Rigil Kentaurus), Alpha Centauri B (officially Toliman), and Alpha Centauri C (officially Proxima Centauri). Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars (Class G and K), and together they form the binary star Alpha Centauri AB. To the naked eye, the two main components appear as a single star with an apparent magnitude of −0.27, forming the brightest point of light

Currently, the distance between Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri AB is about , equivalent to about 430 times the radius of Neptune's orbit.

It is a solar-like main-sequence star with a similar yellowish colour, whose stellar classification is spectral type G2 V; it is slightly larger and more luminous than the Sun.

This is equivalent to —about 5% the distance between Alpha Centauri AB and the Sun. It was long unknown whether Proxima Centauri and AB were gravitationally bound. Estimating Proxima's small orbital speed around AB required precise measurement. Otherwise it was impossible to ascertain whether Proxima Centauri is bound to the Alpha Centauri system or an unrelated star that happens to be passing by at a low speed. Radial velocity measurements made in 2017 were precise enough

The observed maximum separation of these stars is about 22 arcsec, while the minimum distance is 1.7 arcsec. The widest separation occurred during February 1976 and the next will be in January 2056.
