3D model of a sphenocorona

In geometry, the sphenocorona is one of the Johnson solids (J86).

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.[1]

The sphenocorona is one of the elementary Johnson solids that do not arise from "cut and paste" manipulations of the Platonic and Archimedean solids.

Cartesian coordinates

Let k ≈ 0.85273 be the smallest positive root of the quartic polynomial

Then, Cartesian coordinates of a sphenocorona with edge length 2 are given by the union of the orbits of the points

under the action of the group generated by reflections about the xz-plane and the yz-plane.[2]

We may then calculate the surface area of a sphenocorona of edge length a as

[3]

and its volume as

[4]
