Astronomen vinden tweede ring rond dwergplaneet Quaoar

Er is een tweede ring rond de verre dwergplaneet Quaoar gevonden. Deze ring draagt bij aan het mysterie van hoe deze wereld ringen herbergt in zulke brede banen.

In the arXiv, cool update on (50000) Quaoar the Transneptunian: this dwarf planet, half the size of Pluto, harbors not only a moon, Weywot, but also two rare rings, located outside the Roche limit - where rings usually accrete into satellites.

"A dwarf planet beyond Neptune has a mysterious ring that astronomers can't explain

The ring is so far from the dwarf planet's surface that its material should have coalesced into a moon. But somehow, it didn't."

"The planet in question is called Quaoar and it's the seventh largest of the known #DwarfPlanets of which #Pluto is the king. Discovered in 2002 and about 697 miles wide (1,121 kilometers), Quaoar is one of the so-called trans-Neptunian objects, small planets orbiting beyond the solar system's outermost planet #Neptune."

#Quaoar"

Perhaps the solar wind and CMEs push away the material that would normally form rings around inner planets. Also, many rings are composed of ice which would not exist nearer the Sun.

The Sun's gravity may also play a factor.

Astronomen vinden een ring rond Quaoar

De nieuw gevonden ring draait op een afstand van 7,4 * de straal van Quaoar in het object heen. Dat is in verhouding veel verder dan de ringen rond Saturnus.

Another dwarf planet has a ring? C'mon inner solar system, step up your game already.
#Quaoar

Planetary scientists are puzzled by the presence of a ring around a distant #KuiperBelt object. Scientists reported this week the discovery of the ring around #Quaoar, an object a little less than half the diameter of #Pluto orbiting beyond #Neptune. The ring appears to be uneven, varying in width from a few kilometers to a few hundred kilometers.
