Updated mass for Pluto-Charon #188

Closed AstroChara closed 6 months ago

AstroChara commented 6 months ago

From https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024AJ....167..256B/abstract Mars's mass is changed by a minuscule amount; previously I assumed that the GM given is total system mass, but I couldn't find support to this claim.

Apologies for an update to this pull request after approval; I figured I would like to update before I forget about it. The update is fixing the rings of Quaoar.

@JiliTheSpaceboy could you post comparison of Quaoar with old and new rings?

(The new commit changes the outer edge of the rings of Quaoar by 4 km, as I forgot to change it when updating the ring texture)

@JiliTheSpaceboy could you post comparison of Quaoar with old and new rings?

The rings appear to be imperceptible in the program itself because it's extremely tenuous. You can see the difference if you download the ring files and see what is encoded within each pixel. I'd hoped that viewing the rings from a more oblique angle would help bring them up, but no such luck.

Do you mean quaoar-rings.png? That one is covered by textures/medres/quaoar-rings.png.license

I made the quaoar-rings.png myself. It's based on https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024A%26A...683C...4P/abstract .
