Constraints on Quaoar’s Rings and Atmosphere from JWST/NIRCam Observations of a Stellar Occultation
Benjamin Proudfoot et al 2025 Planet. Sci. J. 6 146
JWST observations show substantial azimuthal variations of both the inner and outer rings of the trans-Neptunian object Quaoar, and modeling shows that resonances with Weywot play a role in the stability of the rings.
