For a fixed $\beta$, release points from $f=-\pi /2$ through the current $f=\pi /2$ generate a syndyne. The newest grain is still at the comet, whereas earlier grains have had longer to separate. The right panel of the figure shows the resulting family. The $\beta =1$ curve consists of particles following the tangent lines inherited at their respective release points. Residual gravity bends the $\beta <1$ syndyne starward and shortens its displacement; net repulsion bends the $\beta >1$ syndyne anti-stellar and lengthens it.
