Kent, I am going through the abstracts and trying to find the original publicated
articles. I am going to provide you with some snippets from some of them
that point to some conclusion of Planet x.. Anything I find interesting I
am going to forward you. Please pick and choose what you want. This information
my be a bit fragmented as I am pasting stuff as I find it.
This abstract was published in1996.
While the ephemerides of Uranus and Neptune seem to have no unexplained problems,
the ephemeris of Pluto does have problems. The observations span only a small
portion of the planet's full period and they are
prone to systematic zone errors in the catalogues. Furthermore, there is
a large bias which can not be removed from the residuals by a mere orbit
adjustment; its cause is presently unknown though it probably is the result
of inhomogeneous data reductions. Such problems become especially important
for navigational concerns with the Pluto Fast Flyby Mission.
There is now known to be a mass concentration of significant size in the
outer solar system - 1992 QB1. In comparison to any of the major
planets, though, this object is miniscule. For
the meridian circle observations, there is still no evidence which requires
or even indicates the existence of any
planet-sized object; there remains no need to
hypothesize the existence of a tenth planet in
the solar system. I thought this one^^
was interesting as he states there is a concentration of mass of significant
size but then disqualifies it as a possible Planet X.
This is an article dated 4/92 telling where PlanetX might be found.

The observation of the region of the sky in which it is believed
Planet X should now
be, based on perturbations observed in the motions of Uranus and Neptune,
was determined, and there was no reason to update that determination.
A limited area of that region was photographed, and that will be continued.
A given area is photographed with the twin 20 cm astrograph in New Zealand
on two successive nights near the time that area is in opposition, and these
plates are blinked in Washington to identify anything that has moved. The
predicted region is in the south, which requires observations from a southern
station, and it is in opposition in the April to June period, which means
observations have not yet started for the year. Blinking will be done as
soon as the plates are received in Washington.
Notice the bold area. He is saying there is no need to change previous
determined location.
What I found interesting about this one is that the magazine it was
originally printed in no longer has this article in its archives.

The present consideration of the systematic residuals which emerge when Uranus
and Neptune observations are compared to their theories will proceed from
the supposition that these discrepancies are due to an unknown
'planet X'. An effort
is accordingly made to ascertain the ideal region, rather than a specific
position or positions, in which the existence of such a
planet will account for the systematic residuals.
The problematic relationship of the probable albedo of a
planet X to the mass
it must possess, in view of the present calculations, is assessed.
It is proposed that the systematic residuals in the positions of Uranus and
Neptune may be due to an unknown planet:
Planet X. Using the
weighted-least-squares method, the orbit and mass of
Planet X were computed
from the residuals of Uranus. It is concluded that, if it exists,
Planet X will be the
tenth planet. However, it may not be the tenth
from the sun since the computed semimajor axis is a little less than Pluto's.
Planet X's perihelion,
like Pluto's, is inside the orbit of Neptune
This one gives a hint of how large it is.

Four test orbits of a trans-Plutonian planet have
been integrated forward for four million years in order to determine the
effects of such a body on the stability of the Neptune-Pluto 3:2 resonance.
Planets beyond Pluto with masses of 0.1 M and
1.0 Earth masses in orbits at 48.3 and 75.5 AU, respectively, do not disturb
the 3:2 resonance. Test planets of 5 Earth masses
with semimajor axes of 52.5 and 62.5 AU disrupt the four million year libration
of Pluto's argument of perihelion.
Observed positions of Uranus and Neptune along with residuals in right ascension
and declination are used to constrain the location of a postulated tenth
planet. The residuals are converted into residuals
in ecliptic longitude and latitude. The results are then combined into seasonal
normal points, producing average geocentric residuals spaced slightly more
than a year apart that are assumed to represent the equivalent heliocentric
average residuals for the observed oppositions. Such a
planet is found to most likely reside in the region
of Scorpius, with considerably less likelihood that it is in Taurus.

An extensive analysis of the planet
X model is presented. Unlike prior analyses, it
takes into account the fact that only those comets scattered directly into
the zones of influence (ZOI) of Saturn and Jupiter can contribute to a shower
whose duration is in agreement with observation. It is predicted that some
of the comets scattered directly into ZOI of Uranus and Neptune wiwll evolve
on time scales of about 100 million years into the steady state flux of
short-period comets. The absolute numbers of shower and steady state comets
were found to be comparable with the known terrestrial cratering rate, assuming
the existence of long-lived extinct comet cores. Canonical
planet X model parameters
are given, and it is suggested that planet
X, in its present orbit, can create the requisite
density gradient of comets near perihelion and aphelion during the lifetime
of the solar system. It is concluded that the existence of
planet X and the comet
disk can explain the origin of the steady state flux of short-period comets
over a wide range of parameters.
The dynamical evidence for a planet beyond the
orbit of Neptune is reviewed. Three years of radio tracking data from Pioneer
10 can be fit to the noise level with no evidence for unmodelled acceleration
at a level higher than 5 x 10 to the -14th km/sq
s. The evidence does not place severe limits on the
Planet X model, but
does place a firm limit of five earth masses on a hypothetical comet belt
just beyond the orbit of Neptune
The discovery that Pluto's mass is insufficient to explain the discrepancies
in the motions of the outer planets has led to
the prediction of a tenth planet
(planet X) of mass
about 1-5 earth masses beyond the orbit of Pluto. Further, the existence
of a belt or disk of comets beyond the orbit of Neptune has been proposed
in connection with some theories of the origin of the Solar System as a possible
source of short-period comets and indirectly as a source of long-period comets.
Here it is pointed out that the existence of both
planet X and the comet
disk at their expected distances may explain not only the observed
planetary motions and the origin of comets, but
also the recently reported 28-Myr periodicity in terrestrial cratering and
in mass extinctions. The cratering period is associated with the precession
of the perihelion of planet
X caused by the perturbations of the outer
planets.
Date: 12/18/02 4:21:43 PM Pacific Standard Time Kent, In case you didn't catch this I want to point this out. Harrington believed that Planet X (comet cluster) was coming in from the opposite direction than what the ZetaTalk ppl say. It is in his papers. No accusing anyone here, but my own thoughts on this. It is very likely Planet X isn't coming in May but at a late date(?). Meanwhile the disinformation ppl put out the idea of the may passing. Then of course when it doesn't show, the whole thing is chalked up to BS. Everybody stops looking. Meanwhile, its still on it's way. I've scoured the net looking for anything I can find on this and many other topics. One source claimed that planet X(comet cluster) would come in 2008. Then 4 yrs later pass back by again in 2012. Of course , 2012 is the time of the Galactic convergence, when we are back to point Zero. At that time we will pass from the negative side of the galactic plane to the positive side. Since the universe is one big electrical entity, heaven knows what will happen when we cross over. Lots of theories out there. Meanwhile, the passing of Planet X will cause alot of things to happen that are predicted in many places, including revelations, Sumerian texts, egyptian glyphs, Torah, verdic, plus lots more I'm sure. I got something interesting on Crop circles I want to send you too from Linda Howe.
