Feasibility of a resonance-based Planet Nine search

Elizabeth Bailey, Michael E. Brown, Konstantin Batygin

It has been proposed that mean motion resonances (MMRs) between Planet Nine and distant objects of the scattered disk might inform the semimajor axis and instantaneous position of…

The Generation of the Distant Kuiper Belt by Planet Nine from an Initially Broad Perihelion Distribution

Tali Khain, Konstantin Batygin, Michael E. Brown

The observation that the orbits of long-period Kuiper Belt objects are anomalously clustered in physical space has recently prompted the Planet Nine hypothesis - the proposed exist…
