giving the trilinear equation

It has the Brocard points and
of a triangle as its foci and the Brocard
midpoint as its center.
Its Brianchon point is the symmedian point
of the triangle, and the triangle formed by the points of contact of the inellipse
with the reference triangle is the symmedial
triangle, which is also its polar triangle.
It has semiaxes lengths
