Description: Diagram showing three views of Quaoar's ellipsoidal shape. Ellipsoid dimensions are given in terms of axial ratios, which are given in Kiss et al. (2024). The red arrow indicates the rotational north pole direction, and the thin pink line indicates the equator of Quaoar. The true color of Quaoar is also shown---the true color is derived from Quaoar's visible spectra and albedo using the True Color Tools program.
