Abstract
The Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) exhibit an orbital clustering of the outer planets lying at perihelion distances larger than Neptune and semimajor axes greater than 150 AU from the Sun. This implies a hitherto unknown dynamical mechanism to counter randomizing of the orbital elements caused by the giant solar system planets. Using the toroidal field induced frame-dragging we deduce here the observed range of the Kuiper belt region, the semi-major axis of Sedna like objects in the Kuiper belt, as well as the orbital clustering of the KBOs in the ecliptic, without assuming dynamical effects induced by trans-Neptunian-objects (TNOs). We also calculate the orbital precession rates for the inner planets and show their correspondence, within the range of observational accuracy, with recent planetary ephemerides.
