Abstract
A class of vacuum initial-data sets is described which are based on certain expressions for the extrinsic curvature first studied and employed by Bowen and York. These expressions play a role for the momentum constraint of general relativity which is analogous to the role played by the Coulomb solution for the Gauss-law constraint of electromagnetism.
