The exact dynamical alignment time from an angle (Formula presented) close to (Formula presented) to (Formula presented) given by one-fourth of the period of the (Formula presented) motion, can be calculated by integration of Eq. (27) and is (Formula presented) with K an elliptic integral of the first kind.
