Dao-Parry Circle


Dao-ParryCircle

The Dao-Parry circle associated with a rectangular circumhyperbola H of a scalene triangle ABC is the circle through the five points P_1^*, P_2^*, Q, Q^', and the focus F=X_(110) of the Kiepert parabola in the following construction. Dao Thanh Oai (2016) proposed the configuration as a generalization of the Parry circle, and Lozada (2021) introduced the name.

Let l be the isogonal conjugate of a nondegenerate H, and let the tangent line to H at the orthocenter H meet l at a finite point K. Write T for the center of H and suppose K!=T. Assume that the line KT meets H at two distinct finite real points P_1 and P_2. Let P_1^*, P_2^*, and Q be the isogonal conjugates of P_1, P_2, and K, respectively. Assume that all three isogonal conjugates are defined and finite, with Q different from the circumcenter O. Let Q^' be the image of Q under inversion in the circumcircle. Then the five points are concyclic and determine the Dao-Parry circle (Dao Thanh Oai 2016, Lozada 2021).

The point K lies on the Jerabek hyperbola, so its isogonal conjugate Q lies on the Euler line. Its inverse point Q^' also lies on the Euler line, and the Dao-Parry circle is orthogonal to the circumcircle. Its center lies on the line through F and the center X_(351) of the Parry circle (Lozada 2021).

Taking H to be the Kiepert hyperbola gives the Parry circle (Dao Thanh Oai 2016, Lozada 2021).
