We present a new numerical method for the generation of binary neutron star initial data using a method along the lines of the the Wilson-Mathews or the closely related conformal thin sandwich approach. Our method uses six different computational domains, which include spatial infinity. Each domain has its own coordinates which are chosen such that the star surfaces always coincide with domain boundaries. These properties facilitate the imposition of boundary conditions. Since all our fields are smooth inside each domain, we are able to use an efficient pseudospectral method to solve the elliptic equations associated with the conformal thin sandwich approach. Currently we have implemented corotating configurations with arbitrary mass ratios, but an extension to arbitrary spins is possible. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce our new method and to test our code for several different configurations.

Celephais: efficient spectral initial data code for precessing compact binaries
Celephais constructs spectrally accurate binary-neutron-star and black-hole-neutron-star initial data with arbitrary spin orientations, using a sparse Jacobian, adaptive hp-refinement, and PN-informed eccentricity reduction.

The error budget of binary neutron star merger simulations for configurations with high spin
For highly spinning (chi=0.5) binary neutron stars, evolution code choice is the largest numerical waveform error, and current analytical models disagree with numerical relativity beyond that error after the stars touch.
