Dynamical Implications of the Recently Detected Feature around Quaoar and Constraints on the Presence of Additional Satellites
A recently reported opaque feature in the Quaoar system, detected during the 2025 June 25 stellar occultation, has been interpreted as either an ∼15 km radius satellite or a dense, sharp-edged arc orbiting at about 5600–5900 km. Here, we investigate both scenarios through numerical integrations that...
