DM annihilation luminosity "surface density" (∫ρ 2 DMdℓ) in the central 2 kpc × 2 kpc region of Eris. The contrast between the dynamical center (white plus) and the peak (red cross) is ~11%. The vertical axis corresponds to the disk normal, and the coordinate system has been rotated to maximize the angular offset of the peak.
