Stellated Truncated Hexahedron


U19

The stellated truncated hexahedron (Maeder 1997), also called the quasitruncated hexahedron (Wenninger 1989, p. 144), is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 19 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 92 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 66 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 24 (Har'El 1993). Its faces are 8{3}+6{8/3}. It has Schläfli symbol t^'{4,3} and Wythoff symbol 23|4/3,

The stellated truncated hexahedro is implemented in the Wolfram Language as UniformPolyhedron[92], UniformPolyhedron["StellatedTruncatedHexahedron"], UniformPolyhedron[{"Kaleido", 24}], UniformPolyhedron[{"Uniform", 19}], or UniformPolyhedron[{"Wenninger", 92}]. It is also implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["StellatedTruncatedHexahedron"].

TruncatedCubicalGraph

The skeleton of the stellated truncated hexahedron is the truncated cubical graph, illustrated above in a number of embeddings.

Its dual polyhedron is the great triakis octahedron.

For unit edge lengths, its circumradius is

 R=1/2sqrt(7-4sqrt(2)).
U19Hull

The convex hull of the stellated truncated hexahedron is the Archimedean small rhombicuboctahedron A_6, whose dual is the deltoidal icositetrahedron, so the dual of the stellated truncated hexahedron (i.e., the great triakis octahedron) is one of the stellations of the deltoidal icositetrahedron (Wenninger 1989, p. 57).
