OR-star

A relativistic solution to Einstein's equations and a ray tracer for that solution

Usage:

make

./OR-star <impact> <flux> <photon_radius> <photon_radial_velocity> [nobreak]

<impact> and <flux> define the OR-star while <photon_radius> and <photon_radial_velocity> define the starting radius and angle of a photon interacting with the OR-star. Photons which deflect inwards either halt the simulation (as per characteristic geodesic plots) or continue if there is a 5th argument.

Example:

./OR-star 1 10 200 -0.999

A photon star of radius 1 (typical) and flux 10 (high) interacts with a photon starting at radius 200 aimed near the origin.
