would it have certain other parameters and well by making this assumption he decided to go through the entire survey and see if he can actually discover anything that matches these particular observations with the planet itself very likely just being a single dot somewhere in the survey itself but a dot that would be unidentified and that would be probably traveling in a somewhat eccentric orbit now pretty much most of the objects in a survey are either asteroids galaxies or different service clouds so for the most part all of the points he discovered suggested that it was something that was already known or something that was not a planet at all but this was under the assumption that the planet would be slightly larger anywhere from maybe five to ten masses of planet earth and that would be NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN au away from the sun and with these particular parameters nothing was discovered in these regions of the solar system this is of course including the entire night skies but what if we lower the mass of the potential planet nine and move it a little bit closer to the sun so here something that's maybe less than NUMBER_TOKEN masses of planet earth at a total distance of anywhere from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN au now first of all at this point the object would be slightly larger it would be maybe two or even three points and because this object will be moving across the nice guys it would also have a specific separation between the first detection and the last detection and using these parameters several hundred different points have been identified in the survey but the majority once again were not really planets but once again were either galaxies different clouds or a lot of different comets and asteroids except for this one point right here there was one single candidate that seemed to fit right into the description of what the scientist was looking for and here the distance would be about NUMBER_TOKEN au and the total mass of this object would be anywhere from three to five masses of planet earth but remember super preliminary discovery there's a really really high chance that this is actually something entirely different and this is exactly what the scientist concludes his paper with but i guess the question is why was it not seen before and how exactly can we prove this object and his existence well the main reason it was not seen in previous surveys is because of its relatively high location in the night skies as in it has a relatively high ecliptic latitude while at the same time having a low galactic latitude and many of the previous surveys just didn't really look in this region the author also admits that because the telescope is relatively old and this is basically one of the first technologies using this the data here is not of the highest quality so additional observations are needed to see if this is really there he also provides the overall orbital calculations suggesting where we can possibly detect it today while at the same time additional observations used in other frequencies is also needed to see what's happening here for example using radio telescopes using optical telescopes and using a lot of other observations to determine exactly what this object is and what exactly was discovered in the survey so for example if it's discovered that this is a stationary object and it hasn't moved at all in the last what is it like NUMBER_TOKEN years well this would mean that it's not an object in a solar system at all it's probably once again some sort of a distant infrared object that created an unusually similar appearance to a planet in the solar system however if this object moved across the night skies as predicted here and if it's also detected by some of the other surveys for example optical telescopes or radio telescopes
