Constraints on Quaoar’s Rings and Atmosphere from JWST/NIRCam Observations of a Stellar Occultation by Benjamin Proudfoot, Bryan J. Holler, Ko Arimatsu, Flavia L. Rommel, Cameron Collyer, Estela Fernández-Valenzuela

“…To better understand these structures, we observed a stellar occultation by Quaoar and its rings using the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument. Our observations detect both known rings, although Q2R—the inner known ring—is not detected on both sides of Quaoar, showing that it has substantial azimuthal variations similar to Q1R, the outer ring. …”
