It follows from observations that the asteroid Chariklo has two outer rings. The purpose of this paper is constructing the equilibrium model of asteroid and developing the kinetic mechanism of evolution of its rings. We have specified for Chariklo the density \(\rho_{0} \approx 2.71~\mbox{g}/\mbox{cm}^{3}\), the mass \(M_{0} \approx 8.817 \times 10^{21}~\mbox{g}\), and the average radius \(R_{0} \approx 128.16~\mbox{km}\). Its rings are modeled by circular gravitating tori consisting of the small rock-ice particles that orbit the asteroid. The method does not imply the presence of hidden satellites close to the asteroid, and the equilibrium of the rings is determined by the small velocity dispersion and gravity of particles. The problem of expansion of the internal torus gravitational potential in series in powers of its geometrical parameter is solved. This enables the gravitational energy of Chariklo’s rings to be found and to express their masses in terms of the mass of the asteroid \(M_{0}\). We calculated the mass of the inner ring to be \(M_{r1} \approx 9.8 \times 10^{18}~\mbox{g}\), and its relation to the mass of the asteroid is \(\frac{M_{r1}}{M_{0}} \approx 0.001\); similarly, for the outer ring \(M_{r2} \approx 10^{18}~\mbox{g}\), and \(\frac{M_{r2}}{M_{0}} \approx 0.0001\). The mass ratio \(\frac{M_{r1}}{M_{r2}} \approx 10\) is typical for satellites of other asteroids and dwarf planets. The velocity dispersion of particles in rings \(\upsilon_{1} \approx 1~\mbox{m}/\mbox{s}\) and \(\upsilon_{2} \approx 45~\mbox{cm}/\mbox{s}\) is no greater than \(1 \div 2~\%\) of its rotational velocity \(\upsilon_{rot} \approx 40~\mbox{m}/\mbox{s}\). The particle of medium radius \(r_{p} = 25~\mbox{cm}\) has the mean free path \(\lambda \approx 7~\mbox{m}\), and its diffusion time from center line on the surface of the torus is \(\frac{T'_{1}}{T_{rot1}} \approx 13\) and \(\frac{T'_{2}}{T_{rot2}} \approx 5\). The dissipation rate equation for Chariklo’s rings is derived. From this equation a surprising result follows: the time of energy dissipation (the time of evolution of rings) is only \(T_{d1} \approx 10^{3} \div 10^{4}~\mbox{years}\), which by astronomical measures is a very short time scale. We adduce the arguments supporting the idea that these rings in near future can become Chariklo’s satellites, and that the transformation of the rings into satellites energetically is favored.
