The outer Napoleon circle, a term coined here for the first time, is the circumcircle of the outer Napoleon triangle. It has
center at the triangle centroid (and is thus concentric with the inner
Napoleon circle) and radius

where
is the area of the reference triangle.
It has circle function

and
are Conway triangle notation. This function
corresponds to the second isodynamic point
, which is Kimberling
center
.
The only Kimberling center lying on it is , the second Fermat
point.
The following table gives pairs of inverse Kimberling centers with respect to the outer Napoleon circle.
