description Orthogonal polynomials on radial rays in the complex plane were introduced and studied intensively in several papers almost three decades ago. This paper presents an account of such kinds of orthogonality in the complex plane, as well as a number of new results and examples. In addition to several types of standard orthogonality, the concept of orthogonality on arbitrary radial rays is introduced, some or all of which may be infinite. A general method for numerical constructing, the so-called <i>discretized Stieltjes–Gautschi procedure</i>, is described and several interesting examples are presented. The main properties, zero distribution and some applications are also given. Special attention is paid to completely symmetric cases. Recurrence relations for such kinds of orthogonal polynomials and their zero distribution, as well as a connection with the standard polynomials orthogonal on the real line, are derived, including the corresponding linear differential equation of the second order. Finally, some applications in physics and electrostatics are mentioned.
