Abstract
In recent years, evidence has been obtained that in the outer region of the Solar System (in the inner Oort cloud) at a distance of ~300–700 AU from the Sun, there may be a captured planet or a primordial black hole. In this paper, we show that the gravitational scattering on this object of dust particles located in the same region can transfer them to new elongated orbits reaching the Earth’s orbit. With the mass of the captured object of the order of 5–10 Earth masses, the calculated dust flow near the Earth is ~0.1–3 μg m–2 year–1 is comparable in order of magnitude with the observed flow. This effect gives a joint restriction on the parameters of the captured object and on the amount of dust in the Oort cloud.
