[Kstars-devel] kstars engine?

[karinqe]

Hi,
is there any info about the algorithms the engine uses to predict the
motions of planets? How do you "solve" the N-body problem? How precise
is it? What do you take into account?
I'll look into the code later for more specific information, but now
I'm just trying to find out which algorithms are often used in
applications like kstars and don't have enough time to search in the
source :(
Could you please give me some hints?

(I'm doing a Bachalor's thesis on the N-body problem...well, at least
I'm starting)

Thanks in advance,
Karin
