Mikko Tuomi is a Finnish astronomer from the University of Hertfordshire, most known for his contributions to the discovery of a number of exoplanets, among them the Proxima Centauri b which orbits the closest star to the Sun. Mikko Tuomi was the first to find indications of the existence of Proxima Centauri b in archival observation data.[2] Other exoplanets to whose discovery or study Tuomi has contributed include HD 40307,[3] HD 154857 c,[4] Kapteyn c,[5] Gliese 682 c,[6] HD 154857,[4] Gliese 221,[7] Gliese 581 g[8] and the planetary system orbiting Tau Ceti.[9] He has led the development of new data analysis techniques for distinguishing observations caused by natural activity of the star and those caused by planets orbiting them.[10]
