We present updated dynamical and statistical analyses of outer Oort cloud cometary evidence suggesting that the Sun has a wide-binary jovian mass companion. The results support a conjecture that there exists a companion of mass ~1—4 MJupiter orbiting in the innermost region of the outer Oort cloud.
By focusing on brown dwarf companions to young stellar primaries, it is possible to derive a first estimate of the brown dwarf IMF over the entire range of brown dwarf masses (13 MJ to 79 MJ) – the number of companion brown dwarfs is proportional to mass to the −1.2 ± 0.2 power.

My objection isn't that Matese and Whitmire chose to characterize the hypothetical body as a "brown dwarf;" my objection is that you have conflated a diverse collection of hypothetical and imaginary celestial bodies into a portmanteau planet and claim that it's been "discovered." Where is your data to support that goulash?
I find it extremely interesting that shortly after the whole "brown dwarf controversy" erupted, EVERY reference (except one) to brown dwarfs in Matese and Whitmire's paper was removed, even though 'brown dwarf' is still seen in the title of their older papers. /quote]
Are you trying to discredit these authors by stating that they do not understand that an object 1 to 4 Jm is far too small to be a brown dwarf? You'd have thought that a referee from a peer reviewed journal would have could that mistake.
Why would it be necessary to remove every reference to a 'brown dwarf' in a scientific paper
Because it was wrong. The hypothesized Tyche is 1/3 the mass of the small end of brown dwarfs.
a massive brown dwarf star that's only "theorized"
There you go telling lies, lies, lies. No one is suggesting massive brown dwarf. There have been suggestions of a brown dwarf, but no brown dwarfs on the large end of things.

What "brown dwarf controversy" is that and when did it erupt?
Thank you for at least acknowledging that fact. I appreciate your not trying to constantly BS me. Despite Phage's misrepresentations throughout this thread, it is a brown dwarf that Matese and Whitmire are and always were searching for.

My "goulash" is simply 30 years of observations similar to the oddity above. Why would it be necessary to remove every reference to a 'brown dwarf' in a scientific paper if something big that involved a brown dwarf wasn't going on? Why are these "diverse collection of hypothetical and imaginary celestial bodies" always named before they're even discovered? Is that the way it works with astronomical discoveries? And why do these mystery objects always seem to involve brown dwarfs, going back to a 1984 U.S. News and World Report article that specifically mentioned a brown dwarf as being one of the possibilities.
Tell me DJ, do you actually believe that after three infrared telescopes have been launched since the 1980s, a massive brown dwarf star that's only "theorized", but given various names and repeatedly said to reside in our solar system can't be found?
Excuse the corollary, but it's like the government claiming that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon while refusing to release any photos or CCTV videotapes that they confiscated minutes after the attack.
It just doesn't pass the smell test...
6 and a half billion people freaking out in survival mode wouldn't be pretty.
Why the seed bank is such a good idea now
I would say I hate to be Captain Paranoia, but I have little faith in our "elected" representatives.

With all these eyes watching, it is clear that any body that remains to be discovered in our solar system is either very small, very distant, or both.
Were the atmospheric conditions the same as what was shown on Chinese television?
. on which he set forth the mathematical principles governing celestial motion. He deduced that all bodies possessing mass were linked together by an invisible force called "gravity." This force was proportional to the masses involved and acted over a distance without intermediation. His principles would make it possible to observe the actions of unseen bodies on those that were visible, permitting the discovery of new planets. Reference.

Hercolubus is already coming, it is found in view by all the astronomers of planet Earth; it is gigantic, mighty, six times bigger than Jupiter and belongs to the Tyler solar system. It is not like many suppose, a dislocated planet of some solar system, no, it is not dislocated; it spins around the gravitational center of the Tyler solar system. Before long, that gigantic world will pass on an angle of our solar system, then the catastrophe will be precipitated. In celestial mechanics, Hercolubus helps verticalize the poles, it is a piece of the great machine. The approach of Hercolubus is at our door. In the year 1999, Hercolubus will be visible before all human beings and every eye will see it, and in plain midday it will appear like another sun. When Hercolubus passes near the Earth, it will obviously precipitate the catastrophe. This gigantic world has an extraordinary power of attraction.

An unusual event is going to accelerate the process of swift change to the axis of the planet Earth.
I am referring to the planet Hercolubus.
This planet is six times bigger than the planet Jupiter.
The planet Hercolubus belongs to the distant solar system of Tylo. The solar system of Tylo is rapidly approaching our solar system, and Hercolubus is rapidly approaching Earth.
Modern Astronomers have before their sight the planet Hercolubus, or as it is known by modern science, the Barnard star.
This planet is a powerful giant that will pass through an angle of our solar system. When this happens, the revolution of the axis of the planet Earth will accelerate violently.
Then the final catastrophe will occur.
Some scientists believe that they will be able to push this monstrous planet away with nuclear explosions, but this will be useless. It will be impossible to push this tremendous mass of a planet out of the way with mere nuclear bombs.
This same planet brought Atlantis to an end. Before Atlantis existed, it annihilated the existence of another continent. We know very well that the continent of Mu or Lemuria sank within the waters of the boisterous pacific ocean after 10,000 years of earthquakes and incessant volcanic eruptions.
