You made the claim many times that the anomaly papers supported a point source gravitational object. Now you are backing off of this claim. Thank you.
Such an orbit is unexpected in our current understanding of the solar system but could be the result of scattering by a yet-to-be-discovered planet, perturbation by an anomalously close stellar encounter, or formation of the solar system within a cluster of stars. In all of these cases a significant additional population is likely present, and in the two most likely cases Sedna is best considered a member of the inner Oort Cloud, which then extends to much smaller semimajor axes than previously expected. Continued discovery and orbital characterization of objects in this inner Oort Cloud will verify the genesis of this unexpected population.

I am still waiting for you to show where in all of the anomaly papers there is talk of a point source gravitational object. You posted dozens of times claiming support in those papers and you still haven't shown where you saw the experts say that this was the case. It is possible I missed it - extremely doubtful, but possible. So please show us where that exists.
A Mars-sized body can be found at not less than 70-85 au: such bounds are 147-175 au, 1006-1200 au, 4334-5170 au, 8113-9524 au and 10 222-12 000 au for a body with a mass equal to that of the Earth, Jupiter, a brown dwarf, red dwarf and the Sun, respectively.
Even the papers you show say THERE IS A POSSIBILITY of such planets being closer than 320AU, and even a brown darf, or red star yet YOU want to claim differently....

Again my constraint trumps yours. You lose.
Nonetheless, our current survey has covered at least 80% of the area within 5° of the ecliptic—where such a planet would be most expected—with no planetary detections (Trujillo & Brown 2003). We therefore deem the existence of such a scattering planet unlikely, but we are unable to rule the possibility out completely.

Showing a stronger constraint trumps a weaker argument. It is possible for whole sky surveys to see objects that cannot cause measurable gravitational perturbations. The papers you've cited are gravitational arguments.
Iorio computes that the minimum possible distances at which a Mars-mass, Earth-mass, Jupiter-mass and Sun-mass object can orbit around the Sun are 62 AU, 430 AU, 886 AU and 8995 AU respectively. To put this into perspective, Pluto orbits the Sun at an average distance of 39 AU.
Let's leave out the personal sniping , Please.
I know how to read and comprehend better than you

BS, btw we are not in high school anymore. At Least I am not, so stop it with the stupid remarks already.
Detectability of distant planets.
Planet V(1,1,0)1 R24(AU)2 Rgrav(AU)3
Earth −3.9 620 50
Jupiter −9.3 2140 340
Neptune −6.9 1230 130
Pluto −1.0 320 N/A
1 Absolute magnitude of the planet, equal to the V magnitude at unit heliocentric and geocentric distance and zero phase angle.
2 The distance at which the planet would have apparent magnitude mV = 24.
3 The distance at which the gravitational perturbation by the planet would just be detectable, as computed using Equation (4), Pluto is undetectable by this method at any distance for which Equation (4) is valid: See Hogg et al.
(1991).
Not only must the objects be currently far away, but their orbits must keep the objects far away. A recent paper postulates a possible object around 25000AU or about 1/3 of a light year away.
Nemesis is predicted to lie at a distance equal to 25,000 times that of the Earth from the Sun, or a third of a light-year.
That object is suggested to be 25,000 AU away.
They state that starting at 20AU, and not 25,000AU as you claim
Go back to the article hypothesizing the brown dwarf and read where the 25000AU comes from.
Nemesis is believed that our solar system orbit at 25,000 times the distance from Earth to the sun.
Oh yes it is and one or two research papers which THEORIZE such a planet/brown dwarf at 25,000 AU doesn't make it so, more so when other research points to this planet, or brown dwarf being much closer.... I agree with you, you need to read a bit more.
For anything to cause the increase in the distance between the Sun and the planets it must be closer to the Sun than 25,000 AU
Persistent Evidence of a Jovian Mass Solar Companion in the Oort Cloud
Finally you mention this article which clearly states that the object is out 25,000AU or about 1/3 of a light year and is an object smaller than what would be called a brown dwarf.
There is no way out of it, and for whatever this is to be causing the secular increase in the distance between the planets and the Sun it must be a lot closer than 25,000 AU.
Go back to the article hypothesizing the brown dwarf and read where the 25000AU comes from.
Second of all, I have already mentioned that the Oort cloud is very big indeed and it could put such large planet or even dead star less than 25,000 AU for all we know.
You denied the existance of any such large planet existing anywhere close to 320AU...or the existance of a brown dwarf anywhere close to 25,000AU
There are well known constraints. Misrepresenting articles, misrepresenting posts, and using outdated information is quite unbecoming.
So there is no proof that no large Mars/Earth size planet can be anywhere close to 320 AU? and a bronw dwarf or red dwarf would have to be at 25,000AU?...
Also, the constraint for a brown dwarf is not out to 25,000AU. That is a prediction of a possible object.
The OP was about one such paper you claim don't exist...
This paper suggests an object 25,000AU away.
I am still waiting for you to show where in all of the anomaly papers there is talk of a point source gravitational object. You posted dozens of times claiming support in those papers and you still haven't shown where you saw the experts say that this was the case. It is possible I missed it - extremely doubtful, but possible. So please show us where that exists.

Welcome to the discussion Unity_99. As you can see the discussion has pushed the position of any possible planet back beyond the back side of the Kuiper belt. Any thoughts on that?
