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.
The paper assesses the feasibility of using SKA-AA4 for thermal detections and characterization of TNOs and Centaurs at cm wavelengths.
