Extended Data Table 3 Physical parameters of rings C1R and C2R
From: A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
- N, number of fitted data points (there are M = 3 free parameters: t, W and τN);
= χ2/(N – M), the χ2 per degree of freedom; t, mid times of ring events, in seconds after 00:00:00 utc, 3 June 2013. W, radial width, measured in the plane of the rings (using the ring pole given in Table 1); τN, normal optical depth; Eτ = WτN, equivalent depth. The error bars quoted here are internal to the fits, and are given at the 1σ level. The error bars in absolute time, ±0.014 s, are larger than the error bars on the relative times reported here (see text).
