%N A statistic on orbital systems over n sectors: the number of orbitals which rise to maximum height k over the central circle.

%C The definition of an orbital system is given in A232500 (see also the illustration there). The number of orbitals over n sectors is counted by the swinging factorial A056040.

%C Note that (sum row_n) / row_n(0) = 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,..., i.e. the swinging factorials are multiples of the extended Catalan numbers A057977 generalizing the fact that the central binomials are multiples of the Catalan numbers.

%C T(n, k) is a subtriangle of the extended Catalan triangle A189231.
