Algunos planetas que existen en Alfa Centauri, según la Ciencia Ficción

Sabéis que hace poco se se ha descubierto un planeta más o menos del tamaño de la Tierra en nuestra estrella más cercana, en concreto a Alfa Centauri B (Alfa Centauri es un sistema con tres estrellas).
Este hallazgo es realmente importante, es el planeta que está "sólo" a 4 años luz de la Tierra. Con nuestra tecnología actual tardaríamos cientos o miles de años en llegar, pero si encontramos vías alternativas de propulsión (como se explica en este magnífico post de Eureka) este sería seguro nuestro primer lugar a visitar.
Además aún queda esperanza, hemos encontrado un planeta, pero hay evidencias de la existencia de todo un sistema planetario.
Ahora sólo nos queda soñar con los planetas que encontraremos allí, pero la Ciencia Ficción lleva años imaginando planetas que orbitan este sistema de estrellas.
Estos son sólo algunos:Unnamed (sin nombre), planeta de Lost in Space (Perdidos en el Espacio, serie).
Rkhat en el libro “The Sparrow”, Mary Doria Russell
Alpha III M2, en el libro de Philip K. Dick “Clans of the Alphane Moon”.
Pasadena, en el libro de Arthur C. Clarke “Songs of Distant Earth” (Cánticos de la lejana Tierra)
Wunderland en el libro de Larry Niven “The Man-Kzin Wars”
Cybertron, de los Transformers (Optimus Prime es de Alfa Centauri)
Polyphemus, el planeta de Avatar
Demeter, del libro de Poul Anderson, “Harvest of Stars”
Chiron, el planeta del fantástico juego de Sid Meier, Alpha Centauri
Unnamed, del capítulo de Dr. Who “Curse of Peladon”
Y muchos, muchos más que puedes ver aquí.
