1998 study of photometric variations indicated that Proxima Centauri completes a full rotation once every 83.5 days. A subsequent time series analysis of chromospheric indicators in 2002 suggested a longer rotation period of  days. Later observations of the star's magnetic field subsequently revealed that the star rotates with a period of  days, consistent with a measurement of  days from radial velocity
