150 The initial data problem<br />

• for strange quark matter [198, 179].<br />

All these computation are based on a flat conformal metric [choice (8.126)], by solving the<br />

helically symmetric XCTS system (8.127)-(8.129), supplemented by an elliptic equation for the<br />

velocity potential. Only very recently, configurations based on a non flat conformal metric have<br />

been obtained by Uryu, Limousin, Friedman, Gourgoulhon <strong>and</strong> Shibata [263]. The conformal<br />

metric is then deduced from a waveless approximation developed by Shibata, Uryu <strong>and</strong> Friedman<br />

[241] <strong>and</strong> which goes beyond the IWM approximation.<br />

8.4.5 Initial data for black hole - neutron star binaries<br />

Let us mention briefly that initial data for a mixed binary system, i.e. a system composed <strong>of</strong><br />

a black hole <strong>and</strong> a neutron star, have been obtained very recently by Gr<strong>and</strong>clément [147] <strong>and</strong><br />

Taniguchi, Baumgarte, Faber <strong>and</strong> Shapiro [252, 253]. Codes aiming at computing such systems<br />

have also been presented by Ansorg [19] <strong>and</strong> Tsokaros <strong>and</strong> Uryu [260].
