 Attractive branch of the Kepler–isochrone transformation

For bound old Kepler orbits, $E<0$, $\lambda <0$ and $\bar{E}>0$ give a positive radius, positive isochrone scale $b$, and positive transformed mass. The shifted energy is $\bar{E}-k=\bar{E}/\lambda <0$. For unbound old orbits with $E>0$, $1/2<\lambda \le 1$ gives an attractive unbound isochrone branch. The case $\lambda =0$ is handled by the separate Kepler–harmonic radial duality.
