This is an excellent addition to last night's discussions.
Can you mock up a picture: Earth daytime, Earth moonlight and Proximity's daytime?
There's an artist's impression on the Wikipedia entry, but that 'sun' looks the same size as ours. There's a comparison further down, so I guess that does the trick.
What difference does Alpha Centauri A and B make to all this? Are they bright enough to make a sunny day? One thought, if Proximity is tidally locked, then Alpha Centauri A and B will rise and fall every 11 days.
