Small stellated 120-cell


In geometry, the small stellated 120-cell or stellated polydodecahedron is a regular star 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol. It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polytopes.

It has the same edge arrangement as the great grand 120-cell, and also shares its 120 vertices with the 600-cell and eight other regular star 4-polytope. It may also be seen as the first stellation of the 120-cell. In this sense it could be seen as analogous to the three-dimensional small stellated dodecahedron, which is the first stellation of the dodecahedron. Indeed, the small stellated 120-cell is dual to the icosahedral 120-cell, which could be taken as a 4D analogue of the great dodecahedron, dual of the small stellated dodecahedron. With its dual, it forms the compound of icosahedral 120-cell and small stellated 120-cell.
The edges of the small stellated 120-cell are τ2 as long as those of the 120-cell core inside the 4-polytope.
