Description:
A lightweight, fully vectorized N-body physics engine built for the R ecosystem. Simulate and visualize complex orbital mechanics, celestial trajectories, and gravitational interactions using tidy data principles. Features multiple numerical integration methods, including the energy-conserving velocity Verlet algorithm (Verlet (1967) <doi:10.1103/PhysRev.159.98>), to ensure highly stable orbital propagation. Gravitational N-body methods follow Aarseth (2003, ISBN:0-521-43272-3).
