Locations and widths of first-order secular spin-orbit resonances for different masses of the hypothetical ancient satellite. In each panel, the mass labelled mj is the minimum satellite mass in order to allow for Uranus to reach the vj resonance and be tilted from 0° to 90° (see Table 2). The extent of all resonances is shown in pink and the centre of the vj resonance is highlighted with a red curve. The approximate ridge line separating the close and far satellite regimes is shown by the dashed blue line (same as in Fig. 1). The black striped area is the region E1 where the satellite’s classic Laplace plane is unstable. The red dot is the singular point S1. Resonances are labelled by the frequency vj of the forcing term (arrows).
