Orbit Module

This is our Orbital Mechanics Module. This module provides classes and utilities for building and simulating hierarchical N-body systems, as this is the most common framework to model extrasolar systems. It includes functionality for defining orbital bodies, constructing orbits, and performing celestial mechanics calculations.

Note

Pryngles implements the facilities of the well known REBOUND package to optimize its dynamical solutions.

Important

By hierarchical N-body systems, we mean systems whose dynamics can be represented by the 2-body subsystem clustering approximation. The next figure may illustrate you the kind of systems we want to reproduce.

Make a smart construction of your system, i.e., build your system by segmenting it into nested 2-body subsystems. Please follow the next scheme convention for organize your hierarchical system
