Data for the Sun and Earth in SI units.
-
Data of approx 13 star (I don't know which) near the centre of the galaxy.
Units are in arcseconds from the black hole. And the distance from the Earth to the black hole is approx 8 Kpc.
This initial data corresponds to t = 1995.0200 (step = 1) in stars13.dat.
Length units: Each unit is an arcseconds distance from the black hole. The center of our galaxy is about 8000 parsecs (or 8 kiloparsecs) from Earth. At that distance, 1 arcsecond is ~0.04 parsecs = 8000 astronomical units (AU).
Time is measured in years.
Mass is measured in solar masses.
