Hi Konstantin and Mike!

Given that the possible new planet would potentially solve the problems with the orbits of the other observed objects discovered so far, what would this do to the probability of additional, similar mass objects out there? Does it mean it's a lot less likely there's anything else, at least in the nearby area?

Is there any current thinking or would you care to speculate as to how large bodies would behave outside of the heliopause? Would they be more likely to retain some sort of tenuous (or even strong?) atmosphere, or maybe have other effects due to increased cosmic rays, for example?
