abstract
We consider the initial data problem for several black holes in vacuum with arbitrary momenta and spins on a three space with punctures. We compactify the internal asymptotically flat regions to obtain a computational domain without inner boundaries. When treated numerically, this leads to a significant simplification over the conventional approach which is based on throats and isometry conditions. In this new setting it is possible to obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Hamiltonian constraint.

Ultra-relativistic black hole flybys can radiate over 65% of their energy in gravitational waves via irregular waveforms caused by radiation trapping and lensing, without coalescence.
Numerical relativity simulations of equal-mass black holes with initial spins from -0.7 to 0.7 in hyperbolic encounters find maximum spin-up of 0.3 and mass increase of 15%, with spin-up decreasing linearly with initial spin at the threshold angle.
Bayesian parameter estimation with targeted eccentric numerical-relativity waveforms yields eccentricity estimates of e20 ≈ 0.2 for GW200208_22 and e10 ≈ 0.19 for GW190620, reinforcing the eccentric hypothesis.
