Where can I find a set of data of the initial conditions of our solar system?
As the title suggests, I'm in need of a set of data of our solar system. Similar to this http://bima.astro.umd.edu/nemo/archive/#iau25, but more specifically, the Dubinsky Milky Way-Andromeda data.
I'm creating a n-body simulation for school and can't seem the find any initial particle conditions that I could use to simulate our solar system in the software I'm developing. I need initial positions, velocity and mass.
Any idea where I could find this?
Horizons Ephemeris generator can give you a planet's position and velocity vectors at a specified time.
This is one set of possible options:
Clicking Generate Ephemeris on that page will give you position and velocity vectors:
Above the position and velocity vectors are the Julian date as well as the more conventional date.
Wikipedia can give the masses of the sun and planets.
