It's possible you could quotient out by the period translation and see if something about the flux or torque of the end of the resulting surface gave it to you, but I don't know if that works off the top of my head. Alternatively, you could observe that as the wings of the Scherk family collapse to one another, an appropriate rescaling gives the catenoid and this is logarithmicaly offset from the tangent plane. | |
