The pentagrammic duoprism or stardip, also known as the pentagrammic-pentagrammic duoprism, the 5/2 duoprism or the 5/2-5/2 duoprism, is a noble uniform duoprism that consists of 10 pentagrammic prisms, with 4 meeting at each vertex.

Vertex coordinates

The coordinates of a pentagrammic duoprism of edge length 1, centered at the origin, are given by:

• $\left(\pm {\frac {1}{2}},\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-2{\sqrt {5}}}{20}}},\,\pm {\frac {1}{2}},\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-2{\sqrt {5}}}{20}}}\right),$
• $\left(\pm {\frac {1}{2}},\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-2{\sqrt {5}}}{20}}},\,\pm {\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{4}},\,{\sqrt {\frac {5+{\sqrt {5}}}{40}}}\right),$
• $\left(\pm {\frac {1}{2}},\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-2{\sqrt {5}}}{20}}},\,0,\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-{\sqrt {5}}}{10}}}\right),$
• $\left(\pm {\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{4}},\,{\sqrt {\frac {5+{\sqrt {5}}}{40}}},\,\pm {\frac {1}{2}},\,-{\sqrt {\frac {5-2{\sqrt {5}}}{20}}}\right),$
