N2 - Mercury-T calculates the evolution of semi-major axis, eccentricity,
inclination, rotation period and obliquity of the planets as well as the
rotation period evolution of the host body; it is based on the N-body
code Mercury (Chambers 1999, ascl:1201.008). It is flexible, allowing
computation of the tidal evolution of systems orbiting any non-evolving
object (if its mass, radius, dissipation factor and rotation period are
known), but also evolving brown dwarfs (BDs) of mass between 0.01 and
0.08 M⊙, an evolving M-dwarf of 0.1 M⊙, an evolving Sun-like star,
and an evolving Jupiter.
