Barycentric coordinates are strongly related to Cartesian coordinates and, more generally, affine coordinates.For a space of dimension n, these coordinate systems are defined relative to a point O, the origin, whose coordinates are zero, and n points , …,, whose coordinates are zero except that of index i that equals one.
More generally, if an arbitrary origin is chosen where the Cartesian coordinates of the vertices are known and represented by the vectors ,, and if the point P has trilinear coordinates x : y : z, then the Cartesian coordinates of are the weighted average of the Cartesian coordinates of these vertices using the barycentric ...
The barycentric celestial reference system (BCRS) is a coordinate system used in astrometry to specify the location and motions of astronomical objects. 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 ...
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; In geometry, Barycentric subdivision, a way of dividing a simplicial complex
The galactic coordinate system uses the approximate plane of the Milky Way Galaxy as its fundamental plane. The Solar System is still the center of the coordinate system, and the zero point is defined as the direction towards the Galactic Center. Galactic latitude resembles the elevation above the galactic plane and galactic longitude ...
The equal-area projection that results from average of sinusoidal and Mollweide y-coordinates and thereby constraining the x coordinate. 1929 Craster parabolic =Putniņš P4: Pseudocylindrical Equal-area John Craster Meridians are parabolas. Standard parallels at 36°46′N/S; parallels are unequal in spacing and scale; 2:1 aspect. 1949
The term triangular coordinates may refer to any of at least three related systems of coordinates in the Euclidean plane: . a special case of barycentric coordinates for a triangle, in which case it is known as a ternary plot or areal coordinates, among other names
