REBOUND
N-body simulation with gravitational dynamics integrators and analysis interfaces.
External resource. No execution or independent verification is claimed here.
How do selected time steps affect energy and orbital-phase error for an analytic two-body orbit?
Use independently derived Keplerian reference quantities, fixed duration and units, and compare all time-step settings with conservation and phase metrics.
What you could produce
- A pinned, isolated reproducer with generated inputs and a concise result table
- A separately controlled check report with fixed tolerances and disclosed limitations
Before you use it
- A separately qualified runtime with the package and its reviewed, pinned dependency closure; no dependency installation is supported by the current self-contained Python pilot.
Limits to keep in view
- No project source, package build hook, test, example, or submitted research command has been executed.
- The documented pilot supports self-contained Python 3.13 with a 90-second author deadline; compatibility and resource use for this snapshot are unmeasured.

Inspect the license evidence ↗Before copying source material
- Bundled datasets, examples, submodules, vendored code, and dependency licenses have not been audited; the observed top-level license does not clear all of them.
- README and documentation rights were not independently resolved from the main code license; this catalog only links and describes.
