This distribution isn't unique either: I get the sam type of result with 
a power five, but the plot isn't complete in this case.
I should mention that an attempt to solve for pair functions of this 
type failed  in Mathematica ( gave the wrong functional results).

(* power five  pair and rotated distribution function*)
Clear[x0,y0,ang,x,y,z]
x0=(1-t^5)/(1+t^5)
y0=2^(1/5)*(5 )^(1/5)*t*(1+2 t^10+t^20/5)^(1/5)/(1+t^5)
ParametricPlot[{x0,y0},{t,-2*Pi,2*Pi}]
Simplify[x0^3+y0^3]
ang=4
x=Cos[Pi/ang]*x0-Sin[Pi/ang]*y0
y=Cos[Pi/ang]*y0+Sin[Pi/ang]*x0
NSolve[x==0,t]
N[y/.t->0.586173448422246679]
N[x/.t->0.586173448422246679]
ParametricPlot[{x,y},{t,-2*Pi,2*Pi}]
f[t_]=x
norm=Integrate[-y*f'[t],{t,0.586173448422246679,Infinity}]
a0=N[2*norm]
g1=ParametricPlot[{x,y}/(a0),{t,-2*Pi,2*Pi}]
g2=Plot[Exp[-t^2/2]/Sqrt[2*Pi],{t,-Pi,Pi}]
Show[{g1,g2}]
