Perturbative solution of the Einstein Constraints with Spin and Momentum Far Away From a Binary Source in the Bowen-York formalism
Abstract
We study the momentum and Hamiltonian constraints of vacuum Einstein equations, within the Bowen-York formalism, for two interacting black holes in close separation, with anti-parallel spins and anti-parallel linear momenta. We give an analytical solution using perturbation theory. We also compute the location and the shape of the apparent horizon which generically depend on all the parameters, angles and the separation between the black holes. Our solution only works for distances far away from the black holes. To gain more insight close to the black holes, one has to go to the higher orders in perturbation theory, which is a rather cumbersome process. But the solution presented here can be of some use for numerical computations as the latter should match our result for the described problem.
