The denominators are conjectured to be A005032.
Refer to comments and links of A240926. Consider a unit circle with a chord of length sqrt(84)/5. This has been chosen such that the larger sagitta has length 7/5. The input, besides the unit circle C, is the circle C_0 with radius R_0 = 7/10, touching the chord and circle C. The following sequence of circles C_n with radii R_n, n >= 1, is obtained from the conditions that C_n touches (i) the circle C, (ii) the chord and (iii) the circle C_(n-1). The curvature of the n-th circle is C_n = 1/R_n, n >= 0, and its numerator is conjectured to be a(n).
If one considers the curvature of touching circles inscribed in the smaller segment (sagitta length 3/5), the rational sequence would be A249458/A169634. See an illustration given in the link.
For the proof and the formula for the rational curvatures of the circles in the larger segment see a comment under A249862. C_n = (5/7)*(S(n, 34/3) - (17/3)*S(n-1, 34/3) + 1), n >= 0, with Chebyshev's S polynomials (A049310). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 07 2014

From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 07 2014: (Start)
a(n) = 5*(A249862(n) + 3^n) = 5*3^n*(S(n, 34/3) - (17/3)*S(n-1, 34/3) + 1), n >= 0, with Chebyshev's S polynomials (A049310). See the comments on A249862 for the proof.
O.g.f.: 5*((1 - 17*x)/(1 - 34*x + 9*x^2) + 1/(1-3*x)) = 10*(1 - 27*x + 30*x^2)/((1 - 34*x + 9*x^2)*(1 - 3*x)) proving the conjecture of Colin Barker above. (End)
