Hi,
fundamental constants in gsl are a bit outdated.
Compare the allascii.txt file with
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/Table/allascii.txt .
The newtonian gravitational constant is particularly neglected: In
gsl_const_mksa.h
you can find
#define GSL_CONST_MKSA_GRAVITATIONAL_CONSTANT (6.673e-11) /* m^3 / kg s^2 */
but the current value is 6.67384e-11 and the value in allascii.txt in
the trunk repository is 6.67428 e-11
Best Regards,
M. Prevedelli
