masses in solar mass or central mass? #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
By default, I think all is in central mass unit, BUT everything seems to 
suppose that the central mass is 1 solar mass, so maybe there's mistakes with 
this. If some studies use different masses than 1 solar mass, I think tests 
MUST BE done to verify the values of the masses during the process, the output 
of 'close' and 'element' for instance.

In the preamble of 'mercury', it is said that masses ARE in solar mass. So the 
central mass must be equal to 2 if it is a 2 solar masses star. Thus, there is 
no problems anymore assuming that the comments are still accurate at this time.
