N-body units refer to a system of natural units used in astrophysics and computational astrophysics, specifically in simulations of gravitational systems involving multiple bodies, or N bodies. In these simulations, it is often useful to express quantities in a way that simplifies calculations and highlights essential physical relationships. The N-body units are typically derived from choosing characteristic scales for length, mass, and time based on the system being studied.
