The Cometary Ring is the designation of the orbital band approximately 3.2au from Lumenoferos. While there are barely any objects on near-circular orbits around Lumenoferos at this distance, there are many, many comets on highly eccentric orbits whose mean distances are close to 3.2au. Despite not being a singular object, the ring as a whole is classified as a major celestial object for the purposes of solar system enumeration.
