Abstract
Let be a metric on the -sphere with positive Gaussian curvature and be a positive constant. Under suitable conditions on , we construct smooth, asymptotically flat -manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature, with outer-minimizing boundary isometric to and having mean curvature , such that near infinity is isometric to a spatial Schwarzschild manifold whose mass can be made arbitrarily close to a constant multiple of the Hawking mass of . Moreover, this constant multiplicative factor depends only on and tends to as tends to . The result provides a new upper bound of the Bartnik mass associated to such boundary data.
