Ok, the _technical_ names of the stars that make up the Alpha Centauri system are Alpha Centauri A [the Sun-like star], Alpha Centauri B [almost Sun-like, but smaller; it's still in the spectral class that usually is considered fit to have Earth-like planets] and Alpha Centauri C aka Proxima Centauri [a red dwarf, so far away from A and B that we don't know if it's gravitationally bound to them or not. I would guess that it's _not_ bound to them]
It does share the proper motion of the AB pair.
