Approximate minimum heliocentric distance rX, in au, at which a still unseen object having a mass MX equal to that of the astronomical bodies listed here can be located according to the limit Abary=GMX/r2X≤ 1.2 × 10−9 m s−2 on the SSB's acceleration recently obtained by Zakamska & Tremaine (2005) from pulsar timing data. We used the maximum value Abary/c= 4 × 10−18 s−1, where c is the speed of light in vacuum, of the SSB acceleration allowed by pulsar timing data for about 100 per cent of the sky at 95 per cent level of confidence (table 2 of Zakamska & Tremaine 2005).
