C++ code for three bodies integration

Integrators

• Euler
• Fourth order Runge-Kutta

Input (initial conditions):

file: init.dat

Distance in AU Velocity in AU/days Mass in Solar mass

Output (trajectories):

file: output.dat

How to compile (tested on Mac OS X 10.9):

The bash program:

make three

The same program with openGL visualization

make three++

The makefile should work on Linux with little modifications.

How to run:

1. Edit init.dat for initial conditions

2. ./three (three++ for openGL version)

3. Analyse the output.dat file
