Well, I've stumbled on a problem. Namely, that at least one star system in the ASP is physically impossible given the statistics generated for it.
Specifically, the acceleration due to the star's gravity is approximately twice that of the circular motion system which the planet represents. This is plainly incorrect, assuming I've done my maths right, as they should be exactly the same.
Mathematically, for the UWP, GMs/r^2 != rw^2
where G=gravitational constant, Ms=mass of star, r=radius of orbit and w=angular speed.
Solutions?
