Evolution of the rotation pole P1 for (184) Dejopeja (symbols) projected onto the reference frame defined by nodal longitude Ω7 and inclination I7 of the s7 frequency line in Fourier representation of ζ = sinI/ 2exp(ıΩ). The initial spin position is shown by the symbol. The projection is given on a celestial sphere viewed from an almost pole-on direction. The origin of longitude ϕ, 90° ahead of Ω7, is located downwards. Four panels are shown for four values of the dynamical ellipticity parameter Δ given at the top. The dashed lines show the meridian and latitude circles. If ζ were to contain only the s7 frequency term (Colombo model), the spin evolution would follow the solid lines. In the middle panels the spin remains well confined in the resonant zone about the Cassini state C2 highlighted in gray.
