+Thorn to provide macros for commonly used constants like the speed of light,
+the gravitational constant or the solar mass.
+\end{abstract}
+
+\section{Comments}
+ Because the number of defines could grow, I define some naming conventions:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Names have to start with \textbf{CONSTANT\_}.
+ \item Afterwards a typical name is following.
+ \item A \_ is coming next.
+ \item Either SI, cgi or C (for Cactus) is the last part. This specifies the
+ system of units used here (SI, cgi or Cactus units).
+ \end{itemize}
+\section{Provided Constants}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item $c$ : the speed of light
+ \item $G$ : the gravitational constant
+ \item $M_{\odot}$ : the solar mass
+ \end{itemize}
+
