Compounds of ten octahedra


These uniform polyhedron compounds are symmetric arrangements of 10 octahedra, considered as triangular antiprisms, aligned with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an icosahedron. The two compounds differ in the orientation of their octahedra: each compound may be transformed into the other by rotating each octahedron by 60 degrees.

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

where τ = (1 + 5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ) and s is either +1 or −1. Setting s = −1 gives UC15, while s = +1 gives UC16.
