The Lucas tangents triangle (a term coined here for the first time) is the triangle formed by the pairwise tangents of the Lucas circles of a given reference triangle .
It has trilinear vertex matrix
where is the area of the reference triangle.
The following table gives the centers of the Lucas tangents triangle in terms of the centers of the reference triangle for Kimberling centers with .
