Bad Astronomy: Another look at Planet X

So I went back and analyzed the original image... again.





Planet X

Nightside
  • Surface Albedo:                0.16
  • Atmosphere Alt:                               Ozone      Ethylene    Xenon
  • Boiling Point:                    170 K (-103.15°C)   -103.7°C   -108.099°C
  • Distance from Sun (AU): 2.47 AU
  • Critical Point:                     275 K
  • Critical Dist. from Sun:    0.94 AU

Dayside

  • Surface Albedo:                  0.32
  • Atmosphere:                       Ozone
  • Boiling Point:                      161K
  • Distance from Sun (AU): 2.47AU
  • Vapour:                               261K
  • Vapour Dist. from Sun: 0.94AU

So we are looking at a range of 0.94 AU to 2.47 AU for big blue.





Phet Rok

Nightside

  • Surface Albedo: 0.16
  • Atmosphere: Flourine or Chlorine
  • Boiling Point: 85.03K         239.11K
  • Dist. Sun (AU): 9.8AU          1.24AU
  • Critical Point: 144.41K        416.9K
  • Critical Dist.:   3.45AU         0.41AU

So this time the colour on the dark side came up as chlorine or flourine. So for it to have a flourine atmosphere, Phet Rok is further from the Sun in operational distance than a chlorine atmosphere requires, but only chlorine has an overlap distance that matches with an Ozone atmosphere of Planet X. Between 1.24AU and 0.41AU, and between 0.94AU and 2.47AU respectively. This puts our planets between 0.94AU (the vapour point of Ozone) and 1.24AU (the Boiling point of Chlorine). As the chlorine atmosphere is on the dark side we can assume it is minimal in its required temperature.

Dayside

  • Surface Albedo: 0.61
  • Surface: Chromium Hydroxide?
  • Min. Temperature: 


1. Determining Distance by Atmosphere Chemistry, temperature range, and Albedo.

Planets                                   Atmosphere Ranges (AU)
Phet Rok        0.41---- Cl -----1.24                      3.45------ F ------9.8
Planet X                      0.94----- O3 -----2.47
Overlap                       |<-------->|
Range                     0.94AU - 1.24AU
Temperature 142°C  -12°C  -34°C   -112°C  -129°C           -188°C

Planet X has an ozone Atmosphere and Phet Rok has a chlorine Amosphere. They are between 0.94AU and 1.24AU from the Sun at the time the hubble imaged them at a down angle below -62.667 degrees of Proxima Centauri.

2. Determining Orbital distance from Jupiter
Either jupiter is the same side of the sun or opposite side of the sun from hubble.

                  8.252°    0.152AU    6.136AU    492.16     4.267AU        285.40
1.24AU    71.574°   1.324AU    5.719AU   442.84      4.883AU       349.38



And a few strays...
There are two atmosphereless rocks following along.



Update (12 April 2019): something I missed...





I just noticed this very dark object also in the image...

Its brightness albedo is 0.1-0.2 which is odd for something very white. Albedo 0.2-0.1, 1AU, actual colour is white cloud/snow, equator 263K (-10°C), pole 271K(-2°C). Its potentially snow, with the albedo of frozen equatorial dirt and polar conifers. A planet/moon of Black Ice at 1AU?
