In this article, we revisit the initial data rigidity theorem of Eichmair, Galloway and Mendes (arxiv:2009.09527). The goal is to strengthen their result by showing that the initial data sets concerned carry a vector field that is lightlike…

A new numerical method to construct binary black hole/neutron star initial data is presented. The method uses three spherical coordinate patches; Two of these are centered at the binary compact objects and cover a neighborhood of each…
