Lecar 1968 : The IAU 25 Body Problem
This table (in "atos" format)
lists the positions of all 25 particles. The 25th particle is the one
that sets the center of mass at (0,0,0), if you have very different
floating point hardware, you should compute it yourself.

corps).
The data can be converted as follows (although snap0 = $NEMODAT/iau25.dat
and should already exist in your distribution),
with a few checks on center of mass and energy:
