Abstract

It is possible that one or more bodies with masses in the range 0.001 to 0.01M⊙ may be loosely bound to the Solar System, at distances of several thousand astronomical units. Such objects would be extremely difficult to detect at visual wavelengths, but they might be discoverable at infrared wavelengths.
