'''Dysnomia''', officially designated '''(136199) Eris I Dysnomia''', is a moon of the dwarf planet [[136199 Eris|Eris]]. It was discovered in 2005 by [[Michael E. Brown|Mike Brown]], and carried the provisional designation of '''{{mpm-|S/2005 (2003 UB|313|) 1}}''' until officially named ''Dysnomia'' (a Greek word which means "lawlessness") after the daughter of the Greek goddess [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]].
 
'''Dysnomia''', formal designation '''(136199) Eris I''', is the only known [[natural satellite|moon]] of the [[dwarf planet]] [[Eris (dwarf planet)|Eris]] and is the second-largest known moon of a dwarf planet, after [[Charon (moon)|Pluto I Charon]]. It was discovered in September 2005 by [[Michael E. Brown|Mike Brown]] and the Laser Guide Star [[Adaptive Optics]] (LGSAO) team at the [[W. M. Keck Observatory]]. It carried the [[provisional designation]] of '''{{mp|S|2005|2003 UB|313|1}}''' until it was officially named ''Dysnomia'' (from the Ancient Greek word {{lang|grc|Δυσνομία}} meaning anarchy/lawlessness) in September 2006, after the [[Dysnomia (deity)|daughter]] of the Greek goddess [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]].<ref name="IAUC 8747"/>
==Discovery==
During 2005, the [[adaptive optics]] team at the [[Keck telescopes]] in [[Hawaii]] carried out observations of the four brightest Kuiper belt objects ([[Pluto]], {{mpl-|136472|2005 FY|9}}, {{mpl-|136108|2003 EL|61}}, and Eris), using the newly commissioned [[laser guide star]] adaptive optics system. Observations taken on 10 September revealed a [[natural satellite|moon]] in orbit around Eris, it was provisionally designated '''{{mpm-|S/2005 (2003 UB|313|) 1}}.''' In keeping with the "[[Xena]]" nickname that was already in use for Eris, the moon was nicknamed ''[[Gabrielle (Xena)|Gabrielle]]'' by its discoverers, after the television warrior princess's sidekick. Coincidentally, Dysnomia means "lawlessness," while the character of Xena was played by an actress named [[Lucy Lawless]].
 
With an estimated diameter of {{val|615|60|50|u=km}}, Dysnomia spans 24% to 29% of Eris's diameter. It is significantly less massive than Eris, with a density consistent with it being mainly composed of ice.<ref name="Brown2023"/>{{rp|page=8}} In stark contrast to Eris's highly-reflective icy surface, Dysnomia has a very dark surface that reflects 5% of incoming visible light,<ref name="Brown2023"/> resembling typical [[trans-Neptunian object]]s around Dysnomia's size.<ref name="Brown2018"/> These physical properties indicate Dysnomia likely formed from a large impact on Eris, in a similar manner to other binary dwarf planet systems like Pluto and {{dp|Orcus}}, and the Earth–Moon system.
==Properties==
The satellite is about 60 times fainter than Eris, and its diameter is estimated to be approximately eight times smaller. With only a single observation, the satellite cannot yet be used to measure or constrain the mass of Eris, but
likely orbital parameters were nevertheless estimated. One of these is its orbital period, thought to be about two weeks (14 days). Further observations to be made with the [[Keck telescopes]] in August 2006 will allow a much better measurement of the period. Once astronomers refine the period and the [[semimajor axis]] of the satellite's orbit (currently estimated at 36,000 km<ref>{{cite journal | author = [[Michael E. Brown]] | coauthors= ''et al'' | title = Satellites of the largest Kuiper belt objects | journal = Astrophys.J. | volume = 639 | year = 2006 | issue = L43| id = {{arxiv|archive=astro-ph|id=0510029}} | url = http://www.arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0510029 | format = PDF }}</ref>), they will be able to determine the mass of the system.
 
==Formation Discovery ==
In 2005, the [[adaptive optics]] team at the [[Keck telescopes]] in [[Hawaii]] carried out observations of the four brightest [[Kuiper belt]] objects ([[Pluto]], {{dp|Makemake}}, {{dp|Haumea}}, and {{dp|Eris}}), using the newly commissioned [[laser guide star]] adaptive optics system. Observations taken on 10 September 2005, revealed a [[natural satellite|moon]] in orbit around Eris, provisionally designated {{mp|S|2005|2003 UB|313|1}}. In keeping with the ''[[Xena]]'' nickname that was already in use for Eris, the moon was nicknamed "[[Gabrielle (Xena: Warrior Princess)|Gabrielle]]" by its discoverers, after Xena's sidekick.<ref name="ABC-Zabarenko"/><ref name="ABC-Ingham"/>
Astronomers now know that three of the four brightest [[Kuiper belt objects]] (KBOs) have satellites, while among the fainter members of the belt only about 10% are known to have satellites. This is believed to imply that collisions between large KBOs have been frequent in the past. Impacts between bodies of the order of 1000&nbsp;km across would throw off large amounts of material which would coalesce into a moon. A similar mechanism is believed to have led to the formation of Earth's own [[Moon]] when the [[Earth]] was struck by a [[giant impact hypothesis|giant impactor]] early in the history of the [[solar system]].

Eris and Dysnomia are mutually [[tidally locked]], like Pluto and Charon. [[Astrometry|Astrometric]] observations of the Eris–Dysnomia system by ALMA show that Dysnomia does not induce detectable [[barycenter|barycentric]] wobbling in Eris's position, implying its mass must be less than {{val|1.4|e=20|u=kg}} (mass ratio {{val|0.0050|0.0035}}).<ref name="Brown2023"/> This is below the estimated mass range of {{val|2|-|5|e=20|u=kg}} (mass ratio 0.01–0.03) that would normally allow Eris to be tidally locked within the range of the Solar System,<ref name=Szakats2022/> suggesting that Eris must therefore be unusually dissipative.<ref name=Brown2023/> ALMA's upper-limit mass estimate for Dysnomia corresponds to an upper-limit density of {{val|1.2|u=g/cm3|p=<&thinsp;}}, implying a mostly icy composition.<ref name="Brown2023"/> The shape of Dysnomia is not known, but its low density suggests that it should not be in hydrostatic equilibrium.<ref name="Grundy2019">{{cite journal

The brightness difference between Dysnomia and Eris decreases with longer and redder wavelengths; Hubble Space Telescope observations show that Dysnomia is 500 times fainter than Eris (6.70-magnitude difference) in visible light,<ref name="Dysnomia"/><ref name="Grundy-Eris"/> whereas [[near-infrared]] Keck telescope observations show that Dysnomia is ~60 times fainter (4.43-magnitude difference) than Eris.<ref name="IAUC 8610"/> This indicates Dysnomia has a very different spectrum and redder color than Eris, indicating a significantly darker surface, something that has been proven by submillimeter observations.<ref name="Sicardy Ortiz et al. 2011"/><ref name="Brown2018"/>

[[it:S/2005 (136199) 1]]
Combining Keck and Hubble observations, the orbit of Dysnomia was used to determine the mass of Eris through [[Kepler's laws of planetary motion#Third law|Kepler's third law of planetary motion]]. Dysnomia's average orbital distance from Eris is approximately {{cvt|37300|km|mi}}, with a calculated orbital period of 15.786 days, or approximately half a month.<ref name="Holler2021"/> This shows that the mass of Eris is 1.27 times that of Pluto.<ref name="Brown Schaller 2007"/><ref name="Brown2007sup"/> Extensive observations by Hubble indicate that Dysnomia has a nearly circular orbit around Eris, with a low [[orbital eccentricity]] of {{val|0.0062|0.0010}}. Over the course of Dysnomia's orbit, its distance from Eris varies by {{cvt|462 ± 105|km|mi}} due to its slightly eccentric orbit.<ref name="Holler2021"/>
[[nl:Dysnomia (maan)]]
 
[[pl:Dysnomia (księżyc)]]
Dynamical simulations of Dysnomia suggest that its orbit should have completely [[Tidal circularization|circularized]] through mutual tidal interactions with Eris within timescales of 5–17 million years, regardless of the moon's density. A non-zero eccentricity would thus mean that Dysnomia's orbit is being perturbed, possibly due to the presence of an additional inner satellite of Eris. However, it is possible that the measured eccentricity is not real, but due to interference of the measurements by albedo features, or systematic errors.<ref name="Holler2021"/>
[[pt:Disnomia (satélite)]]
 
[[zh:小行星136199 I]]
From Hubble observations from 2005 to 2018, the inclination of Dysnomia's orbit with respect to Eris's [[heliocentric]] orbit is calculated to be approximately 78°. Since the inclination is less than 90°, Dysnomia's orbit is therefore [[prograde and retrograde motion|prograde]] relative to Eris's orbit. In 2239, Eris and Dysnomia will enter a period of mutual events in which Dysnomia's orbital plane is aligned edge-on to the Sun, allowing for Eris and Dysnomia to take turns [[eclipse|eclipsing]] each other.<ref name="Holler2021"/>
 
== Formation ==
Eight of the ten largest trans-Neptunian objects are known to have at least one satellite. Among the fainter members of the trans-Neptunian population, only about 10% are known to have satellites.<ref name="Brown2023"/> This is thought to imply that collisions between large KBOs have been frequent in the past. Impacts between bodies of the order of {{val|1000|u=km}} across would throw off large amounts of material that would coalesce into a moon. A similar mechanism is thought to have led to the formation of the [[Moon]] when [[Earth]] was [[impact event|struck]] by [[Theia (planet)|a giant impactor]] (see [[Giant impact hypothesis]]) early in the history of the [[Solar System]].<ref name="Brown2023"/>
 
== Name ==
 
Mike Brown, the moon's discoverer, chose the name ''Dysnomia'' for the moon. As the daughter of Eris, the mythological [[Dysnomia (deity)|Dysnomia]] fit the established pattern of naming moons after gods associated with the primary body (hence, [[Jupiter]]'s largest moons are named after lovers of [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]], while [[Saturn]]'s are named after his fellow Titans). The English translation of Dysnomia, "lawlessness", also echoes [[Lucy Lawless]], the actress who played Xena in ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' on television. Before receiving their official names, Eris and Dysnomia had been nicknamed "Xena" and "Gabrielle", though Brown states that the connection was accidental.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brown |first=Mike |author-link=Michael E. Brown |title=How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming |title-link=How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming |date=2012 |publisher=[[Random House]] |isbn=978-0-385-53110-8 |___location=New York |page=239}}</ref>
 
A primary reason for the name was its similarity to the name of Brown's wife, Diane, following a pattern established with Pluto. Pluto owes its name in part to its first two letters, which form the initials of [[Percival Lowell]], the founder of the observatory where its discoverer, [[Clyde Tombaugh]], was working, and the person who inspired the search for "[[Planet X]]". [[James Christy]], who discovered [[Charon (moon)|Charon]], did something similar by adding the Greek ending ''-on'' to ''Char'', the nickname of his wife Charlene. (Christy wasn't aware that the resulting 'Charon' was a figure in Greek mythology.) "Dysnomia", similarly, has the same first letter as Brown's wife, Diane.<ref name="SkyTel"/>
