The chaotic attractor of a periodically forced Van der Pol oscillator (Shaw variant) is observed in digital simulation, and is made to vanish in a blue sky catastrophe by increasing a constant (bias) term in the force. The detailed bifurcation diagram, based on extensive simulations, reveals the involvement of the homoclinic outset of a nearby limit cycle of saddle type.
