We present a systematic, rigorous construction of all 70 strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebras $V$ of central charge 24 with non-zero weight-one space $V_1$ as cyclic orbifold constructions associated with the 24 Niemeier lattice vertex operator algebras $V_N$ and certain 226 short automorphisms in $\operatorname{Aut}(V_N)$.
- We show that up to algebraic conjugacy these automorphisms are exactly the generalised deep holes, as introduced in arXiv:1910.04947, of the Niemeier lattice vertex operator algebras with the additional property that their orders are equal to those of the corresponding outer automorphisms.
- Together with the constructions in arXiv:1708.05990 and arXiv:1910.04947 this gives three different uniform constructions of these vertex operator algebras, which are related through 11 algebraic conjugacy classes in $\operatorname{Co}_0$.
- Finally, by considering the inverse orbifold constructions associated with the 226 short automorphisms, we give the first systematic proof of the result that each strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebra $V$ of central charge 24 with non-zero weight-one space $V_1$ is uniquely determined by the Lie algebra structure of $V_1$.
