Compound of five cuboctahedra

In geometry, this uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 cuboctahedra. It has icosahedral symmetry I<sub>h</sub>. It could also be called the anticosicosahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of

(±2, 0, ±2)
(±τ, ±τ<sup>−1</sup>, ±(2τ−1))
(±1, ±τ<sup>−2</sup>, ±τ<sup>2</sup>)

where τ = (1+)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).

Construction

The compound of 5 cuboctahedra could be made by the rectification of the compound of five cubes or compound of five octahedra. It could also be formed by the expansion of the compound of five or ten tetrahedra.
