(a) Lifetime of all simulated particles and (b) Lyapunov time of the surviving particles, both as functions of the initial semimajor axis and eccentricity. Colored vertical lines mark the locations of MMRs, with colors corresponding to those of the associated satellites (diamond markers). Orange vertical lines indicate SORs with Quaoar, with the wider ones highlighting the SORs associated with the rings.
