Fig. 1 The calculated ratios $(S_1+S_2)/L_{\rm max}$ (a), $(S_1+S_2)/L_{\rm min}$ (b), $(S_1-S_2)/L_{2}$ [solid line] (c), and $(S_2-S_1)/L_{1}$ [dashed line] (c) as functions of mass asymmetry at $n=3$. In the cases of antiparallel spins (c), $L_1=J_{\rm tot}+S_1-S_2$ and $L_2=J_{\rm tot}-S_1+S_2$.
