Gossard perspector
Gossard perspector X(402) and Gossard triangle
Euler proved that the Euler line of a given triangle together with two of its sides forms a triangle whose Euler line is parallel with the third side of the given triangle.
Gossard proved that the three Euler lines of the triangles formed by the Euler line and the sides, taken by twos, of a given triangle, form a triangle triply perspective with the given triangle and having the same Euler line. The orthocenters, circumcenters and centroids of these two triangles are symmetrically placed as to the center of perspective which known as Gossard perspector or Kimberling point

Any right triangle and its Gossard triangle are congruent.
Any right triangle and its Gossard triangle have the same Euler line.
The Gossard triangle of the right is the reflection of
in the Gossard perspector.

Denote
$OH = AH – AO = R(2 \cos \alpha – 1) \implies \vec {GoO} = \vec {OH} \cdot \frac {1 – \cos \alpha}{2(2 \cos \alpha – 1)}.
