Are different approaches to constructing initial data for binary black hole simulations of the same astrophysical situation equivalent?

Bryant Garcia, Geoffrey Lovelace, Lawrence E. Kidder +4

Initial data for numerical evolutions of binary-black holes have been dominated by "conformally flat" (CF) data (i.e., initial data where the conformal background metric is chosen…
