Dwarf planet that are more massive than Eris are the Moon, the four Galilean moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), one moon of Saturn (Titan), and one moon of Neptune (Triton). The others are six moons of Saturn (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus), five moons of Uranus (Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon), and one moon of Pluto (Charon). There are additional possibilities among TNOs, including Dysnomia orbiting Eris. Alan Stern calls these moons "satellite planets", one of three categories of planet together with dwarf planets and classical planets. The term "planemo" ("planetary-mass object") covers all three. In
Dwarf planet 6a of 2006 recognizes Pluto as "the prototype of a new category of trans-Neptunian objects". The name and precise nature of this category were not specified but left for the IAU to establish at a later date; in the debate leading up to the resolution, the members of the category were variously referred to as "plutons" and "plutonian objects" but neither name was carried forward, perhaps due to objections from geologists that this would create confusion with their "pluton". On June 11, 2008, the IAU Executive Committee announced a name, "plutoid", and a definition: all trans-Neptunian dwarf planets are plutoids.
