Execution

  1. Modify planetary.f95 lines 22 and 23 to reflect whatever Lagrange point and initial conditions you want respectively.
  2. Open Unix/Linux terminal and cd to the driectory which includes the files.
  3. Run the makefile by typying make.
  4. Execute the created 3plan file by running ./3plan in the terminal.

The execution can also be done in Windows. The procedure will however probably be different to the above steps.

Notes

  • Please see the wiki home page for $\LaTeX$ write up of the problem.
  • See the wiki plots page for a few plots with different initial conditions.
  • IMPORTANT: In my code the number 1 refers to the Earth, and number 2 refers to the Sun. This is exactly the opposite of the Wiki page where the index 1 refers to the Sun.
