This page contains a full reference of all parameters available for the ns_tracker module. At the bottom of the page you can find an example parameter block that can be used in your parameter file.

ns_tracker

Track one or two neutron stars on the grid. The tracking is performed by integrating the rest mass density multiplied by the coordinates to find the centers of mass of the stars. The integral is restricted to regions of the grid where the density exceeds a user-specified threshold.
