When we have

or

When we have

When we have

Vis-visa equation

now since we have

which can be solved for

And the angular momentum is

which can be used to solve for

We can then calculate the phase using

General case

FIrst calculate the semi-major axis

Note that this sets a limit on for material remaining elliptical…

Setting gives us the location that launches an elliptic orbit with the same period

We can then calculate the ellipticity using

And the phase using

parallel kick

orthogonal kick

For outer edge, we are headed toward aphelion so perihelion must have must be between and

For inner edge we are headed toward perihelion, so must be between and

Equi-period direction

Arbitrary direction
