Scientific paper

We propose a model for the Solar System where the Late Heavy Bombardment was triggered by an additional outer planet in an inclined orbit, and could trigger a bombardment from the outer disk of a magnitude and timing consistent with that inferred from the crater record.
The conjectured planet is consistent with current observational limits, but ought to be detectable in future surveys.
This research was upported in part by the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
