Cover Story: The structure of cubic plane curves is governed by lines. Likewise, circle geometry underlies the theory of bicircular quartics. Such a quartic is symmetric in four mutually orthogonal circles of inversion; its sixteen (complex) foci lie on the latter and the curve belongs to an orthogonal family of such quartics sharing the same circles and foci. Here, we connect the above geometric setting with the normal form for elliptic curves introduced by Edwards in 2007. Each (real) Edwards curve generates a confocal family of equivalent elliptic curves—bicircular quartics—via a parameterized Edwards transformation. Curves in the family are identified with trajectories of a quadratic differential on the Riemann sphere. In combination, these several topics illuminate each other and facilitate our fuller understanding of them.
