If this object was only 60 AU away, it would exhibit significant parallax.

So 60 AU is the current suspected distance
They are right, a change in right ascension of slightly more than 3 arcminutes in 24 years is far too great for an object 24,000 light years away. But there is a problem. The "astronomers" got their 1984 data from The MOST Galactic Centre Survey - II. New results on published supernova remnants and G2.4 + 1.4. The description of the table they used:
Así pues tenemos dos posiciones estelares de G1.9+0.3 perfectamente diferenciadas en el transcurso de 24 años:
a. 1984 - RA 17h 45m 37s, Dec. -27:09
b. 2008 - RA 17h 48m 45s, Dec. -27:10
articles.adsabs.harvard.edu...
Table 1. This table lists (1) The Galactic cooridinates, (2) and (3) the right ascension and declination for epoch and equinox B1950.0
The MOST observations are not at high enough resolution to detect significant changes in the size or mophology of G1.9+0.3 with time.
arxiv.org...
Twenty years of observations with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope show that the young supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 has increased in brightness by 1.22 ± 0.24 0.16 per cent yr−1 between 1998 and 2007
Nemesis theory describes exactly why detecting a Brown Dwarf companion to our Sun would be very difficult.
60 AU? Seriously? Even an Earth sized planet would be readily apparent farther out than that, but you expect a brown dwarf to go completely unnoticed?
Of course there is controversy. The Spanish asrtonomers, who call themselves the "Starviewer Team" must still convince the scientific community that G.19 is not a supernova, but rather a brown dwarf star inside our Solar System. This is not an easy task
When we previewed this article to the Starviewer Team, we asked them to send us a rebuttal...
We waited for an answer and received the following statement, which was translated for us:
1.-Some self-motivated International committee of astronomers, by their own innitiative, are presently calculating the exact orbit for the Brown Dwarf Sagitarius-Oort-Kuiper perturbation, using the StarViewerTeam's work sheets based on Lissauer, Murray and Matese's original drafts. A final report, will be published by Feb 2010.
...
It appears the evidence is inferential and based on mathematics. So we must wait until February.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 19, 2010: -- We patiently waited and monitored the StarViewer Team's web site for the "proof" that claimed would be forthcoming. Needless to say, it never materialized.

I know exactly what Nemesis theory proposes. It also proposes a mechanism by which it would be virtually impossible to detect if our Sun was part of a binary system. Do some research. If it's moving along with our Sun we wouldn't detect the parallax, and if it were something like a Red Dwarf it wouldn't be exceptionally bright unless reasonably close to us.edit on 24-8-2011 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)

This whole theory seems based upon the data from a group of Spanish astronomers calling themselves The StarViewer Team. What happened to The StarViewer Team?

In a binary system the stars don't "move along" with each other. One orbits the other (or they sort of orbit each other).
Parallax is not used to detect objects. It is used to determine how far away they are, using the apparent movement against background stars as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf. It is 4.2 light years from Earth. It's not difficult to spot with a half way decent telescope.
