Abstract:Given a hyperbola, we study its bisoptic curves, i.e. the geometric locus of points through which passes a pair of tangents making a fixed angle θ or 180° ? θ. This question has been addressed in a previous paper for parabolas and for ellipses, showing hyperbolas and spiric curves, respectively. Here the requested geometric locus can be empty. If not, it is a punctured spiric curve, and two cases occur: the curve can have either one loop or two loops. Finally, we reconstruct explicitly the spiric curve as the intersection of a plane with a self-intersecting torus.
Keywords:bisoptic curves  conic sections  toric sections
