Abstract
To find Planet Nine, we use N-body simulations to find the true anomaly of Planet Nine that would render distant KBOs the most stable. We obtain an interval of 162-198°matching the intervals given by Medvedev & Vavilov (2016) of 176-184° and Brown & Batygin (2016) of 180°. According to our results, Planet Nine should reside in the constellation Lepus.
