ON THE POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SMALL SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES AND THE PLANET XWAVES

Abstract

To test the possible link of such a massive body and long-period comets as well as other objects, a model Solar System that includes only the Jovian planets and the putative perturber was integrated for 1 million years, assuming that the mass of the highly inclined perturber is about 10 Earth masses. Besides that, we have explored the orbital evolution of 54 comets and 44 with extreme centaurs up to 1 million years, taking into account the gravitational influence of the unknown planet. We discovered that dierent variations of true anomaly obtain close encounters (<5AU) between the planet and numerous small bodies of the Solar System.
