Unsure of time units with -u 1 option #15

Hi, When PeTar outputs snapshots using the -u 1 option enabled, is the time in N-body units or Myr?

Thank you.

lwang-astro commented 3 years ago

The output time is in Myr.

Recently I have updated the README, now you can find more information about the units used in PeTar.
