title: 'orbitr: A Tidy Physics Engine for Building and Visualizing Orbital Simulations'
version: 0.3.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.orbitr
abstract: 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)
  <https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.159.98>), to ensure highly stable orbital propagation.
  Gravitational N-body methods follow Aarseth (2003, ISBN:0-521-43272-3).
