  2. Uniform star polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_star_polyhedron

    A display of uniform polyhedra at the Science Museum in London The small snub icosicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, with vertex figure 3 5. ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ In geometry, a uniform star polyhedron is a self-intersecting uniform polyhedron. They are also sometimes called nonconvex polyhedra to imply self-intersecting.

  3. Uniform polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_polyhedron

    Coxeter, Longuet-Higgins & Miller (1954) define uniform polyhedra to be vertex-transitive polyhedra with regular faces. They define a polyhedron to be a finite set of polygons such that each side of a polygon is a side of just one other polygon, such that no non-empty proper subset of the polygons has the same property.

  4. Multimodal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimodal_distribution

    A simple bimodal distribution, in this case a mixture of two normal distributions with the same variance but different means. The figure shows the probability density function (p.d.f.), which is an equally-weighted average of the bell-shaped p.d.f.s of the two normal distributions. If the weights were not equal, the resulting distribution could ...

  5. Astronomical seeing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_seeing

    Typical short-exposure negative image of a binary star (Zeta Boötis in this case) as seen through atmospheric seeing. Each star should appear as a single Airy pattern, but the atmosphere causes the images of the two stars to break up into two patterns of speckles (one pattern above left, the other below right). The speckles are a little ...

  6. Unimodality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimodality

    A simple bimodal distribution. Figure 3. A bimodal distribution. Note that only the largest peak would correspond to a mode in the strict sense of the definition of mode. In statistics, a unimodal probability distribution or unimodal distribution is a probability distribution which has a single peak.

  7. Star system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_system

    A multiple star system consists of two or more stars that appear from Earth to be close to one another in the sky. [dubious – discuss] This may result from the stars actually being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is a physical multiple star, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case it is an optical multiple star [a] Physical multiple ...

  8. Circumbinary planet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumbinary_planet

    Typical configuration of circumbinary planetary systems (not to scale), in which A and B are the primary and secondary star, while ABb denotes the circumbinary planet An artist's impression of the giant planet orbiting the binary system PSR B1620-26, which contains a pulsar and a white dwarf star and is located in the globular cluster M4

  9. Stellar collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_collision

    Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.
