Small rhombated icositetrachoron

The small rhombated icositetrachoron, or srico, also commonly called the cantellated 24-cell, is a convex uniform polychoron that consists of 96 triangular prisms, 24 cuboctahedra and 24 small rhombicuboctahedra. 2 triangular prisms, 1 cuboctahedron, and 2 small rhombicuboctahedra join at each vertex. As one of its names suggests, it can be obtained by cantellating the icositetrachoron.

Vertex coordinates
The vertices of a small rhombated icositetrachoron of edge length 1 are given by all permutations of:


 * $$\left(±(1+\sqrt2),\,±\frac{\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{\sqrt2}{2},\,0\right),$$
 * $$\left(±\frac{1+2\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{1+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{1+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac12\right).$$

The second set of vertices are identical to those of an inscribed prismatorhombated hexadecachoron.

The cantellation of the dual icositetrachoron has vertex coordinates given by all permutations of:


 * $$\left(±\frac{2+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{2+\sqrt2}{2},\,±1,\,0\right),$$
 * $$\left(±\frac{3+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{1+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac12,\,±\frac12\right).$$

Representations
A small rhombated icositetrachoron has the following Coxeter diagrams:


 * x3o4x3o (full symmetry)
 * s3s4x3o (half symmetry, as cantic snub icositetrachoron)
 * oxxowqwoxxo4xxxxoooxxxx3ooxwxwxwxoo&#xt (B3 axial, cuboctahedron-first)
 * xoxoxuxoxox4oqowxxxwoqo3xxwoqoqowxx&#xt (B3 axial, small rhombicuboctahedron-first)
 * ox4xx3oo3wx&#zx (B4 symmetry)
 * xo4oq3xx3qo&#zx (B4 symmetry, dual ico positioning)
 * wxx3ooo3xwx *b3xxw&#zx (D4 symmetry)

Semi-uniform variant
The small rhombated icositetrachoron has a semi-uniform variant of the form x3o4y3o that maintains its full symmetry. This variant uses 24 cuboctahedra of size y, 24 semi-uniform small rhombicuboctahedra of form y4o3x, and 96 triangular prisms of form x y3o as cells, with 2 edge lengths.

With edges of length a (surrounded by two small rhombicuboctahedra) and b (of cuboctahedra), its circumradius is given by $$\sqrt{a^2+3b^2+2ab\sqrt2}$$ and its hypervolume is given by $$2a^4+54a^2b^2+29b^4+(12a^3b+52ab^3)\sqrt2$$.

Variations
Besides the semi-uniform variant, another isogonal variant known as the cantic snub icositetrachoron also exists, where the small rhombicuboctahedra have pyritohedral symmetry, the cuboctahedra have tetrahedral symmetry, and the triangular prisms have pyramidal symmetry only.

Related polychora
The small rhombated icositetrachoron is the colonel of a 7-member regiment. Its other members include the retrosphenoverted trisicositetrachoron, small rhombic disicositetrachoron, small pseudorhombic disicositetrachoron, grand rhombic disicositetrachoron, disicositetrintercepted disicositetrachoron, and icositetrintercepted prismatodisicositetrachoron.

The segmentochoron cuboctahedron atop truncated cube can be obtained as a cap of the small rhombated icositetrachoron. If 8 of these caps are removed, the result is the prismatorhombated hexadecachoron, with the small rhombicuboctahedral cells all cut down to their central octagonal prism segments only.
