TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for any optical system with a circular exit pupil and wavefronts affected by any aberrations, the borders of all leaving rays are caustic surfaces and/or marginal rays.
Abstract: In this paper, it is proven that for any optical system with a circular exit pupil and wavefronts affected by any aberrations, the borders of all leaving rays are caustic surfaces and/or marginal rays. Several examples are shown for wavefronts affected by linear combinations of Zernike aberrations.

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that the border of any spot diagram is integrated by the caustic surface and/or marginal rays for annular (circular an elliptical) as well as hexagonal (single and segmented) exit pupils.
Abstract: In a previous paper [Appl. Opt. 61, C20 (2022)] it was proven that for a circular exit pupil and any optical path differences, the border of any spot diagram is integrated by the caustic surface and/or marginal rays. In this paper, the previous results are extended to annular (circular an elliptical) as well as hexagonal (single and segmented) exit pupils. Several examples of wavefronts affected by linear combinations of orthonormal Zernike aberrations are shown.

TL;DR: Weierstrass theorem and different Zernike polynomials are used to prove that for any optical system with general exit pupil affected by any aberrations, the borders of all leaving rays are curves caustic and/or marginal rays as discussed by the authors .
