Abstract
Starting from solutions of the lightly bound Skyrme model, we construct many new Skyrmion solutions of the standard Skyrme model with tetrahedral or octahedral symmetry. These solutions are closely related to weight diagrams of the group SU(4), which enables us to systematically derive some geometric and energetic properties of the Skyrmions, up to baryon number 85. We discuss the rigid-body quantization of these Skyrmions and compare the results with properties of a selection of observed nuclei.
