The general consensus in the N-body community is that statistical results of an ensemble of collisional N-body simulations are accurate, even though individual simulations are not. A way to test this hypothesis is to make a direct…
We share the source code and a 121 GB dataset of 96 long-term N-body simulations of the Solar System. This dataset can be analyzed by itself to study the dynamics of the Solar System. In addition, our simulations can be the starting point…
Gravitational scattering of small bodies (planetesimals) by a planet remains a fundamental problem in celestial mechanics. It is traditionally modeled within the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP), where individual particle…
We construct an advanced model for interacting multiple stellar systems in which we compute all trajectories with a numerical N-body integrator, namely the Bulirsch--Stoer from the SWIFT package. We can then derive various observables:…
