3D orthographic projections (with a linear spatial scale) of resonant interaction points for a toroidal bubble of field loops of extent ﹩{r}_{\max }=2﹩, color-coded for final scattering energy ﹩{\varepsilon }_{f}﹩ in the OF, plotted here for ﹩{B}_{p}=10﹩ and uncooled ﹩{\gamma }_{e}={10}^{3}﹩. The six panels are for different viewing angles ﹩{\theta }_{v}﹩ relative to the magnetic dipole moment unit vector ﹩{\hat{{\boldsymbol{\mu }}}}_{{\rm{B}}}﹩, ranging from ﹩0^\circ ﹩ to ﹩120^\circ ﹩, as labeled. The black curves bound emission that is greater than ﹩\sim 160﹩ keV (green, blue, violet colors), separating such from softer emission (yellow, orange, red colors), indicating that most of the COMPTEL-violating high-energy emission is confined to small surface locales. The gray region denotes that of shadowing by the star with respect to the line of sight.
