Authors: Fernando Oliveira Date: 02/18/2025
Abstract
In this paper, we present a prediction based on refined orbital modeling for the location of two massive trans-Neptunian objects, named "Planet 10" and "Planet 11". The calculations are derived from gravitational analyses and orbital resonances associated with the previously theorized "Planet Nine". The location accuracy was optimized to facilitate detection by large-scale telescopes, such as the James Webb, Subaru (Hawaii) and Vera C. Rubin (Chile).
Introduction
Since the proposal of the existence of Planet Nine, several models indicate the possibility of other massive objects orbiting the Sun in extreme regions of the Solar System. These bodies may explain irregularities observed in the dynamics of small trans-Neptunian objects. Based on these studies, we calculated probable positions for two new planets, potentially part of this class of objects. Methodology The calculations were performed based on: Orbital modeling with gravitational influence of Planet Nine. Adjustments to the angular distribution and orbital inclination to optimize detection. Estimates of magnitude and physical characteristics based on similar objects. Results: Proposed Location 📍Planet 10 RA: 4h28m5s Dec: -17°16' Distance: 573.1 AU Planet 11 RA: 5h0m16s Dec: -18°20' Distance: 529.64 AU The calculated position is located in the constellation Cetus, near Eridanus, a region of interest for deep infrared search. Discussion and Implications
The existence of Planet 10 and Planet 11 may provide new evidence about the structure of the outer Solar System and its dynamical evolution. These objects could be associated with the explanation of anomalies observed in the orbital distribution of smaller bodies in the inner Oort Cloud.
