| contents | <p>This paper presents the successful detection of a large trans-Neptunian object (TNO) candidate in the outer Solar System. Utilizing the proprietary topological metric IT^3, based on the irrational 3-torus model T^3(1,√2,√3), the candidate IT30001 was identified. An analysis of archival astrometric data from the DECam photometric survey (NSC DR2) revealed an object with a magnitude of ~22.1 mag (z-band). The object's positions in images from 2014, 2015, and 2017 strictly conform to the predicted parallactic curve for a heliocentric distance of 420.9 AU. The resulting continuous 850-day observational arc provides a high degree of confidence in classifying the object IT30001 as physical evidence for the existence of Planet Nine.</p> |
