In geometry, the 1₅₂ honeycomb is a uniform tessellation of 8-dimensional Euclidean space. It contains 1₄₂ and 1₅₁ facets, in a birectified 8-simplex vertex figure. It is the final figure in the 1_k2 polytope family.

Construction

It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 9 hyperplane mirrors in 8-dimensional space.

The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.

Removing the node on the end of the 2-length branch leaves the 8-demicube, 1₅₁.

Removing the node on the end of the 5-length branch leaves the 1₄₂.

The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the birectified 8-simplex, 0₅₂.
