      In this paper, the authors have investigated the geometrical properties of the secant caustic of a planar curve. In this respect they analyzed the number of branches of the secant caustic, the parity of the number of cusps and the number of inflexion points in each branch of this set. In particular, in section 4 of the paper they have investigated in more detail some interesting geometrical properties of the secant caustic of a rosette, which is an interesting example. The paper contains interesting results regarding the theory of planar curves.
