Isolines ℋ′ = C on a unit sphere for the Colombo top model with I = 5° and κ = −0.914; since | κ | >κ⋆ ≃ 0.652 there are four stationary (Cassini) equilibria of the flow denoted by symbols and labeled C1 to C4. The resonant zone about C2 is highlighted by gray shading. The four panels show different angles of view; the coordinate grid is such that colatitude ε is measured from the north pole near C1, and the longitude ϕ is measured from the meridian of the C2 equilibrium.
