Approximate Solutions to the Binary Black Hole Initial Value Problem

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

We present approximate analytical solutions to the Hamiltonian and momentum constraint equations, corresponding to systems composed of two black holes with arbitrary linear and angular momentum. The analytical nature of these initial data solutions makes them easier to implement in numerical evolutions than the traditional numerical approach of solving the elliptic equations derived from the Einstein constraints.
