Software for simulating interacting galaxies using a restricted three-body approximation.
The current version of the code is available in the various language sub directories. A portion of the historic version of the code is available in the archive directory. The archive directory includes instructions for running a script that will recreate all 62 best-fit models from the Galaxy Zoo: Mergers project. The js directory contains a web page that can run the same models in your browser.
The current language implementations include:
