\begin{abstract}
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}
