mercury6.2jh This is my variant of John Chamber's MERCURY code, which is an N-body integrator that is used to study the orbital evolution of planetary systems. The code provided here is a slightly tweaked version of John's code, and includes additional forces that can drive planet migration or orbit decay due to a drag force. Also included are several IDL routines that I use to read an analyze the output; see the README for details. A tarfile containing everything, as well as the individual files, are available. John's original MERCURY code can also be found at his website.
