Some table files are specifically designed for the N-body creation program mkommod.
The environment variable NEMODAT is defined as part of your normal NEMO setup, programs sometimes use this as a default directory to search for data.
iau25.dat Standard IAU 25-body problem (M. Lecar, Bull.Astr. 3, 91. 1968)
pyth.dat 3-body Pythagorean Problem (e.g. Szebehely & Peters AJ, 72, 876, 1967)
figure8.mpv a stable figure8 orbit in 3body problem (Chenciner & Montgomery)
3body.tab Suvakov & Dmitrasinovic (2013) 3body initial conditions periodic
orbits
k1isot.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF : wc=1 isotropic velocity distr.
k3isot.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF : wc=3
k5an01.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF : wc=5 anisotropic velocity distr.
k5an02.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF
k5isot.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF
k7an01.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF : wc=7
k7isot.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF
plum.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF: plummer (isotropic)
devauc.dat Osipkov-Merritt DF: De Vaulouleurs (isotropic)
expmodel.inp Example table for mkexphot
nbabel (some) input files from the nbabel.org project
starlab/cube10.dyn example starlab data (dyn): [makecube -n 10 -s 123]
archive Archive of interesting N-body simulations
(usually a symbolic link to a large local disk)
ExamplesThe starlab dyn format can be converted to a table using the dumbp(1STARLAB)
program, after which it can be converted to a snapshot, viz.
dumbp < $NEMO/data/starlab/cube10.dyn | tabcols - > cube10.col
tabtos cube10.col cube10.dat block1=mass,pos,vel times=0
Note this method does not convert the time, and cannot convert a series
of snapshots from a simulation.
A comparison of eleven numerical integrations of the same gravitational 25 body problem, Myron. Lecar, Bull.Astr. 3, 91. 1968 (in: Colloque sur le problem gravitationnel des N corps).
