ACRETE (C++)

Steve wrote a port of his original basic code to c++. Like his original basic code, its pretty interesting to see code that has not evolved along the burdick branch.

Basic Assumptions:

Features

  • Generates a variety of primary stars, based on some probability of their occurrence and bounded by the max and minimum mass that was estimated to potentially harbour planets in a stable system at the time..

  • see notes on Dole's paper

Limitations:

see notes on Dole's paper

In Recreation:

  • Source Code is complete.
  • Includes its own random number generator

With the Model:

  • I don't think there are any changes to Dole's accretion model. It's all in the one file so it's hard to be sure.

Compilation

This is pre-ISO C++, so cannot be compiled by gcc/visualcpp as is. It needs a changes from a void returning main method, to an int one.
