X(1), X(13), X(14), X(15), X(16), X(1379), X(1380), X(3413), X(3414)

Ia, Ib, Ic : excenters

6 feet of bisectors

anti-points, see Table 77

F1, F2 : foci of the inscribed Steiner ellipse

imaginary foci of the Brocard ellipse i.e. common points of the Brocard axis and the Kiepert hyperbola

The points A, B, C are nodes with nodal tangents the bisectors.

Q039 has two real asymptotes which are the parallels to those of the Kiepert hyperbola at X(325), the isotomic conjugate of the Tarry point X(98).

See the related sextics Q075 and Q076. See also Panchapakesan isogonal sextics at Q170.

The equation of Q039 can be written under the form : 4xyz ∑(a² S_A-S_B S_C) x (c²y²- b²z²) + ∏(c²y²- b²z²) = 0,

where ∑(a² S_A-S_B S_C) x (c²y²- b²z²) = 0 is the equation of the Darboux cubic K004

and ∏(c²y²- b²z²) = 0 is that of the six bisectors of ABC.

It follows that the tangents at the in/excenters to Q039 pass through the de Longchamps point X(20) of ABC.

Locus properties

• locus of point P whose pedal triangle has a Brocard line passing through P. For the Euler line, see Q002.

• locus of P such that the circum-strophoid with node P is a K0, i.e. has no term in xyz in its equation. See CL038.

• locus of focus F of an inconic whose center, perspector and F are collinear.
