Abstract
We prove that over a Poncelet triangle family interscribed between two nested ellipses , (i) the locus of the orthocenter is not only a conic, but it is axis-aligned and homothetic to a -rotated copy of , and (ii) the locus of the isogonal conjugate of a fixed point is also a conic (the expected degree was four); a parabola (resp. line) if is on the (degree-four) envelope of the circumcircle (resp. on ). We also show that the envelope of both the circumcircle and radical axis of incircle and circumcircle contain a conic component if and only if is a circle. The former case is the union of two circles!
