N-body orbit solver #93

Closed semaphoreP closed 3 years ago

semaphoreP commented 5 years ago

In the future, in particular for multi-planet systems, it could be nice to use an N-body integrator (like rebound) to solve for the planets' positions. An N-body integrator can account for planet-planet interactions. This is not a pressing issue, so we can deal with it down the line.

PSA: I'm happy to help out if you ever want to make orbitize talk to rebound.
