NEMO

SUMMARY

NEMO is a software environment for stellar dynamics. It has many tools to setup, integrate and analyze N-body datasets, as well as various derived types of data. A library of routines (mostly in C) is provided with which new programs can be written. Users invoke programs just like any other program within the Unix environment, and shell scripts can be efficiently used to orchestrate large and complex simulations.

HISTORY

The first version of NEMO was written in 1986/87 by Joshua Barnes, Piet Hut and Peter Teuben, while at the Institute for Advanced Study. Since then, it has expanded and included many utilities to initialize, integrate, analyze and visualize N-body data, and various new and related types of data, such as Orbits, Images, FITS files, and Tables. It has also been ported to a larger set of machines.
