In 2023, astronomers announced the discovery of a widely separated ring around the dwarf planet and Kuiper belt object [[50000 Quaoar|Quaoar]].<ref name="Devlin"/><ref name="morgado2023"/> Further analysis of the occultation data uncovered a second inner, fainter ring.<ref name="Pereira2023">{{Cite Q|Q117802048|display-authors=1}}</ref>

Both rings display unusual properties. The outer ring orbits at a distance of {{val|4057|6|u=km|fmt=commas}}, approximately 7.5 times the radius of Quaoar and more than double the distance of its Roche limit. The inner ring orbits at a distance of {{val|2520|20|u=km|fmt=commas}}, approximately 4.6 times the radius of Quaoar and also beyond its Roche limit.<ref name="Pereira2023"/> The outer ring appears to be inhomogeneous, containing a thin, dense section as well as a broader, more diffuse section.<ref name="morgado2023"/>
