Vertices of ΔABC:  A(a cos t, a sin t),   B (b sin t, - b cos t),   C (1, 0)

Centroid G:   x = (a cos t + b sin t + 1) / 3   --- (1)
                      y = (a sin t - b cos t + 0) /3   --- (2)

    From these   a  cos t + b sin t = 3 x - 1
                         -b cos t + a sin t = 3 y

Hence,   ( 3 x -1)² + (3 y)² = a² + b²

This is the locus.
