There are 230 space groups in three dimensions, given by a number index, and a full name in Hermann–Mauguin notation, and a short name (international short symbol). The long names are given with spaces for readability. The groups each have a point group of the unit cell.
A space group is called symmorphic (or split) if there is a point such that all symmetries are the product of a symmetry fixing this point and a translation. Equivalently, a space group is symmorphic if it is a semidirect product of its point group with its translation subgroup. There are 73 symmorphic space groups, with exactly one in each ...
In geometry, a polar point group is a point group in which there is more than one point that every symmetry operation leaves unmoved. [1] The unmoved points will constitute a line, a plane, or all of space. While the simplest point group, C 1, leaves all points invariant, most polar point groups will move some, but not all points. To describe ...
A crystal system is a set of point groups in which the point groups themselves and their corresponding space groups are assigned to a lattice system. Of the 32 crystallographic point groups that exist in three dimensions, most are assigned to only one lattice system, in which case both the crystal and lattice systems have the same name.
Galaxy group Origin of name Notes Local Group: The galaxy group that includes the Milky Way. Bullet Group: Named in comparison with the Bullet Cluster, being of similar formation, except smaller. Also has a systematic catalogue name SL2S J08544-0121. As of 2014, it was the lowest mass object that showed separation between the concentrations of ...

Let (,) be the projective space of dimension over the finite field and let be a reflexive sesquilinear form or a quadratic form on the underlying vector space. The elements of the finite classical polar space associated with this form are the elements of the totally isotropic subspaces (when is a sesquilinear form) or the totally singular subspaces (when is a quadratic form) of (,) with ...
Voids are particularly galaxy-poor regions of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe. Some voids are known as supervoids . In the tables, z is the cosmological redshift , c the speed of light , and h the dimensionless Hubble parameter , which has a value of approximately 0.7 (the Hubble constant H 0 = h × ...
