The hunt for Planet Nine
In early 2016, Batygin and Brown announced the likely presence of a ninth, large planet in the outer Solar System, based on the properties of the population of Trans-Neptunian Objects. Since then, multiple teams around the world have tried to detect the predicted planet, including myself.
In my presentation, I will give a brief outline of the underlying theory, followed by a description of my approach and an update on the current status.
