  2. Barycenter (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)

    In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; from Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) 'heavy' and κέντρον (kéntron) 'center') [1] is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit. A barycenter is a dynamical point, not a physical object.

  3. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    A 3-simplex, with barycentric subdivisions of 1-faces (edges) 2-faces (triangles) and 3-faces (body). In geometry, a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane, a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space, etc.).

  4. Barycentric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric

    Barycenter or barycentre, the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit each other; Barycentric coordinates, coordinates defined by the common center of mass of two or more bodies (see Barycenter) Barycentric Coordinate Time, a coordinate time standard in the Solar system; Barycentric Dynamical Time, a former time standard in the Solar System

  5. March 783/793 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_783/793

    The March 783 and March 793 are open-wheel Formula 3 race car chassis, designed, developed, and built by March Engineering between 1978 and 1979. They are very similar in design, with the 793 essentially being a ground effect version of the 783; with lower side pods and skirts.

  6. Astronomical coordinate systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_coordinate...

    The heliocentric ecliptic system describes the planets' orbital movement around the Sun, and centers on the barycenter of the Solar System (i.e. very close to the center of the Sun). The system is primarily used for computing the positions of planets and other Solar System bodies, as well as defining their orbital elements .

    Its center of coordinates as the center of mass of the entire Solar System, its barycenter. It was created in 2000 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to be the global standard reference system for objects located outside the gravitational vicinity of Earth : [ 1 ] planets, moons, and other Solar System bodies, stars and other objects ...

  9. Catmull–Clark subdivision surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catmull–Clark_subdivision...

    The arbitrary-looking barycenter formula was chosen by Catmull and Clark based on the aesthetic appearance of the resulting surfaces rather than on a mathematical derivation, although they do go to great lengths to rigorously show that the method converges to bicubic B-spline surfaces.
