Name

triple - Three-body regularization integrator with interactive X-windows display

Synopsis

triple < triple.in

Description

triple is a three-body regularization program that follows the method of Aarseth & Zare (Celestial Mechanics vol 10, pp 185, 1974).

Input Parameters

TOL
Tolerance for Bulirsch-Stoer integrator.
TCRIT0
Maximum time (terminates on escape or TCRIT).
ECRIT
Energy error criterion (time reversal only).
IREV
Time reversal option (IREV = 0: standard).
MOVIE
Movie option (> 0).
XMAX
Maximum range (X & Y; movie option).
M,R,V
Mass, coordinates & velocities (routine DATA).
