N/A
It is the orthocentre and centroid which form new circles.
The given circle IS the circumcircle regardless of the position of P, so the locus of the circumcentre is just the centre of this circle.
The incentre gives two arcs of different circles, depending on whether P lies on the major or minor arc.
