Brown ''et al.'' noted in 2005 that Eris, Dysnomia's primary, is one of three of the four brightest Kuiper belt objects that have satellites. (The other two are [[Pluto]] and 2003 EL<sub>61</sub>.) The fourth, 2005 FY<sub>9</sub>, has no satellite that Earth-based telescopes can presently detect. Most Kuiper belt objects ''do not'' have satellites, and that three of the four brightest should have satellites suggests that their origins were significantly different from those of other Kuiper belt objects.
