The large Kuiper Belt Object Eris is tidally locked to its small companion
Dysnomia. Recently obtained bounds on the mass of Dysnomia demonstrate
that Eris must be unexpectedly dissipative in order for it to have despun
over the age of the solar system. Here we show that Eris must have
differentiated into an ice shell and rocky core in order to explain the
dissipation. We further demonstrate that Eris's ice shell must be
convecting to be sufficiently dissipative, which distinguishes it from
Pluto's conductive shell. The difference is likely due to Eris's
apparent depletion in volatiles compared with Pluto, perhaps as the result
of a more energetic impact.
