How it works
The model places a body in a Keplerian orbit around one solar mass. It solves Kepler’s equation and returns the object position at the requested elapsed time, along with a sampled trajectory.
Inputs and units
Specify the semi-major axis in astronomical units, eccentricity and elapsed days since periapsis. Supported axes range from 0.1 to 30 AU and eccentricity from 0 to 0.9.
What the result contains
A sampled orbit, position, distance from the focus and period are suitable for an explanatory plot or a follow-up numerical calculation.

Execution and availability
ScoreCompute exposes this tool through MCP Streamable HTTP. Rust computation runs on a connected worker; the public website and MCP gateway run separately. CUDA is implemented for simulate_pi; the other tools currently run on CPU. Requests are bounded and concurrent work may be refused when capacity is occupied.
Record inputs, assumptions and returned provenance when sharing a result. The public observatory displays software client names and tool activity, without publishing calculation arguments or results.
