Tidally locked rotation of the dwarf planet (136199) eris discovered via long-term ground-based and space photometry

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Szaku00e1ts R. and collaborators from the ELTE Eu00f6tvu00f6s Loru00e1nd University, Institute of Physics, Max-Planck-Institut fu00fcr extraterrestrische Physik, POBox, Garching, Germany have published the research: Tidally locked rotation of the dwarf planet (136199) Eris discovered via long-term ground-based and space photometry, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: As the authors show below, the system must be extremely fine-tuned to exhibit an actual rotation period that is so close, but still different from the synchronised case when assuming a simple binary system. In Fig 4 the authors show a selection of those . . .
