Extended Data Table 2 Local ring parameters, with their 1-σ error bars

From: A dense ring of the trans-Neptunian object Quaoar outside its Roche limit

  1. aAssuming a monolayer ring. bAssuming a polylayer ring. cThe light curve S/N does not allowed the detection of the ring. dThese values are not available as the ring is unresolved, only the Equivalent Width (Radial Width × Normal opacity) can be computed. eDue the small number of points within each detections, the 1-sigma uncertainty has a large asymmetry.
