Consider the hyperbola $H : x^2-y^2=1$ and a circle $S$ with center $N(x_2, 0)$. Suppose that $H$ and $S$ touch each other at a point $P(x_1, y_1)$ with $x_1 > 1$ and $y_1 > 0$. The common tangent to $H$ and $S$ at $P$ intersects the $x$-axis at point $M$. If $(l, m)$ is the centroid of the triangle $\triangle PMN$,then the correct expression$(s)$ is(are):
$(A) \frac{dl}{dx_1} = 1 - \frac{1}{3x_1^2}$ for $x_1 > 1$
$(B) \frac{dm}{dx_1} = \frac{x_1}{3\sqrt{x_1^2-1}}$ for $x_1 > 1$
$(C) \frac{dl}{dx_1} = 1 + \frac{1}{3x_1^2}$ for $x_1 > 1$
$(D) \frac{dm}{dy_1} = \frac{1}{3}$ for $y_1 > 0$
