Extended Data Table 4 Coefficients ϵk (Eq. (10) and refs. 48,49) associated with the Quaoar 1/3 Spin Orbit Resonance (SOR) and the Weywot 6/1 Mean motion Resonances (MMRs)

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

  1. Note: depending on the line, \({\lambda }^{{\prime} }\) denotes either the orientation of Quaoar’s mass anomaly or Weywot’s mean longitude. The corotation term ϵ6/1,0 accounts for both the direct and indirect parts of Weywot’s disturbing potential. See the Methods for the definition of the quantities.
