What do you mean by "illuminate their neighborhood"? Do you want the
rings to cast light onto nearby objects, or do you want a glowing "halo"
around the rings?

Hi, thanks for your time. :-)
I want to cast light onto nearby objects without having to use radiosity
(I get already a nice illumination with radiosity, but I like it without
radiosity, too, if possible), but I also want a glow around the objects.

To cast light onto nearby objects, the only alternative to radiosity I'm
aware of would be fill lights (light sources with `shadowless`), but I'd
expect them to be difficult to set up for your use case (you don't want
the ring itself to be illuminated by the fill lights, for instance).
For the glow around the objects, you'll need emissive media.

Would everything but the rings in a light group, work?

Your pigment is opaque, so, you never see the media.
If you only want the tori to illuminate the area, you need to use radiosity.
Can be turned on, using default parameters, by adding an empty radiosity
block in the glabal_settings block:
glabal_settings{radiosity{}}
You parbably need to use beter parameters.
Start with count, something around 100 as a starter.
Reduce pretrace_end from default 0.04 to maybe 0.01.
With emission 10, you get an apparent yellow for the torus, but the
illumination will be orange.
If you want some kind of aura around them, then you need to have a
slightly larger torus around then that will be filled with some emissive
media.

Remove the interior as it's not needed.
Add "no_shadow" to your torus.
Place a few lights inside the torus along it's major radius.
Make sure that they are fading lights.
#declare Light_Torus = union{
torus { 2.475 0.025 }
#for(P, 0, 330, 30)//add 12 lights
light_source{2.475*x, rgb < 0.8784314, 0.2, 0.003921569 >
area_light 0*x, 0.3*z, 1, 5 adaptive 0
fade_distance 0.3 fade_power 2
rotate P*y
}
#end
no_shadow
torus { 2.475 0.065 hollow // For the glowing aura
pigment{rgbt 1}
media{ samples 5 // Enough for that simple media
emission < 0.8784314, 0.2, 0.003921569 >*5
}
}
}
union{
object{Light_Torus rotate 90*z }
object{Light_Torus rotate 90*z rotate 120*y}
object{Light_Torus rotate 90*z rotate 240*y}
pigment { color rgb < 0.8784314, 0.2, 0.003921569 > }
emission 10

Alain, thanks a lot for your advise.
I decided, to use radiosity.
But my question remains, how to create a glow-producing media in or
around the torus. I started already, but it does not produce the desired
glow effect.

Thanks! If I understand correctly, the existing torus cannot be made
glowing (having an aura around it). I have to create a new torus
(thicker diameter), which then is filled with the glow, am I correct?
I will go ahead and create a new surrounding torus, and fill it with
media. Please see below and advise me (I do not have any experience with
media).

You place a second fully transparent torus with a larger minor radius
around the main torus. You make that torus hollow and fill it with some
emissive media.
That media, by default, will have an uniform density.
If you want to have non-uniform density, and as there is no toric
pattern, you'll need to provide a function to controll the density.
You can use functions.inc and f_torus/f_torus2 as a good start point.
f_torus(x,y,z, Major_Radius, Minor_Radius)
or
f_torus2(x,y,z, Field_Strength, Major_Radius, Minor_Radius)
(the sample scene i_internal.pov show some examples of the uses of those
functions)
Those evaluate as zero on the minor radius and increase as you get
farther away.
Sample :
#declare LCorner = <-1, -0.25, -1>;
#declare RCorner = <1, 0.25, 1>;
isosurface {
function { f_torus(x,y,z, 0.8, 0.2) }
//P0= major radius
//P1= minor radius
contained_by { box { LCorner, RCorner } }
max_gradient 1
texture { rgbt 1 }
hollow
interior{
media{emission rgb 1
density{f_torus(x,y,z, 0.8, 0) }
}
rotate -30*x
}
When used in a pigment or to controll the density of a media, the minor
radius set the radius where the entry 0 of a colour_map or density map
is located.
Here's a small test scene to get you started :
#version 3.7;
global_settings{assumed_gamma 1}
#include "functions.inc"
union{
torus{1, 0.3 pigment{rgb 0.3}}//Parent
torus{1, 1 //container
hollow
interior{
media{emission rgb 1
samples 20
density{function{f_torus(x,y,z, 1, 0.3) }
//The major and minor radius must match those of the parent torus
density_map{[0 rgb<1,0,0>][0.1 rgb 1][0.2 rgb 0.2][0.7 rgb 0]}
turbulence 0.1}
}
}
}
pigment{rgbt 1}
rotate -25*x
translate 5*z
}
