What are eccentricities of "Conic" section created by intersection of a one sheet hyperboloid ( meridian $e >1 $) with a plane at inclination $\phi?$

Which inclination results in a hyperbola? a parabola? Thanks in advance.

I don't have the answers but I think you can find them in the book New Horizons in Geometry by Tom M. Apostol and Mamikon A. Mnatsakanian, 2012.
