Triaxial gravitational fields of small solar system bodies stabilize narrow rings against solar radiation pressure loss, allowing sub-mm particles to persist.
Numerical integrations favor interpreting the Quaoar occultation feature as a satellite rather than a triangular-point confined arc, while identifying stable regions for additional moons.
