We present an updated dynamical and statistical analysis of outer Oort cloud cometary evidence suggesting the sun has a wide-binary Jovian mass companion. The results support a conjecture that there exists a companion of mass ~ 1-4 M_Jup orbiting in

The close coupling method for electron-atom scattering is generalized and extended with the aid of the Nesbet variational method to provide a general procedure for the calculation of any transition. These features are introduced: (a) An arbitrary set

Most known trans-neptunian objects (TNO's) are either on low eccentricity orbits or could have been perturbed to their current trajectories via gravitational interactions with known bodies. However, one or two recently-discovered TNO's are distant de

Sedna is the first inner Oort cloud object to be discovered. Its dynamical origin remains unclear, and a possible mechanism is considered here. We investigate the parameter space of a hypothetical solar companion which could adiabatically detach the

For an Oort cloud comet to be seen as a new comet, its perihelion must be moved from a point exterior to the loss cylinder boundary to a point interior to observable limits in a single orbit. The galactic tide can do this continuously, in a non-impul

Anderson et al. [Phys. Rev. D 65 (2002) 082004] recently reported new evidence that both Pioneer 10 and 11 are experiencing nearly the same unmodeled anomalous acceleration directed toward the Sun. Numerous mechanisms, both internal and external to t

We have developed a model of the response of the outer Oort cloud of comets to simultaneous tidal perturbations of the adiabatic galactic force and a stellar impulse. The six-dimensional phase space of near-parabolic comet orbital elements has been s

Approximately 25% of the 82 new class I Oort cloud comets have an anomalous distribution of orbital elements that can best be understood if there exists a bound perturber in the outer Oort cloud. Statistically signican t correlated anomalies include

Assuming current models of terrestrial planet formation in the Solar System, we numerically investigate the conditions under which the secondary star in a binary system will inhibit planet growth in the circumstellar habitable zone. Runaway accretion

We consider the subject of time dependence of the Oort cloud comet flux. Over long time scales the flux is likely to be dominated by the adiabatic galactic tide. This tide is substantially modulated as the Solar System moves in its galactic orbit. If
