Caption: Figure 14.

Range of (true) star–planet separations (top) and instantaneous temperatures (bottom) for a planetary ring with AB = 0.1, no thermal inertia, and f = 1, seen at the epochs of S1 (left) and C1 (right) based on the stable orbits consistent with the nondetections in the prograde a < 2 au family as described in Section 4. The mean value of each distribution is marked with a dashed line and noted with the standard deviation in the top right corner of each panel.
