Conformally curved initial data for charged, spinning black hole binaries on arbitrary orbits

S Mukherjee, NK Johnson-McDaniel, W Tichy… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
We present a method to construct conformally curved initial data for charged black hole
binaries with spin on arbitrary orbits. We generalize the superposed Kerr-Schild, extended …

Is it possible to construct asymptotically flat initial data using the evolutionary forms of the constraints?

K Csukás, I Rácz - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Near-Kerr black hole initial datasets are constructed by applying either the parabolic-
hyperbolic or the algebraic-hyperbolic form of the constraints. In both cases, strongly and …

Formulating the complete initial boundary value problem in numerical relativity to model black hole echoes
