Sure, this could be ancient history, DA. The search for such a
companion (even if it left a long time ago) is a waste of time as no
infrared observations have found such an object. The entire sky has
been searched already.

"Evidence Mounts For Sun's Companion Star"

"The Binary Research Institute (BRI) has found that orbital
characteristics of the recently discovered planetoid, "Sedna",
demonstrate the possibility that our sun might be part of a binary star
system. A binary star system consists of two stars gravitationally
bound orbiting a common center of mass. Once thought to be highly
unusual, such systems are now considered to be common in the Milky Way
galaxy."

"Because eccentricity would likely fade with time, it is logical to
assume Sedna is telling us something about current, albeit unexpected
solar system forces, most probably a companion star".

"But with Dr. Brown's recent discoveries of Sedna and Xena, (now
confirmed to be larger than Pluto), and timing observations like
Cruttenden's, the search for a companion star may be gaining momentum."
