The Number of Atomic Models of Uncountable Theories

We show there exists a complete theory in a language of size continuum possessing a unique atomic model which is not constructible. We also show it is consistent with $ZFC + \aleph_1 < 2^{\aleph_0}$ that there is a complete theory in a language of size $\aleph_1$ possessing a unique atomic model which is not constructible. Finally we show it is consistent with $ZFC + \aleph_1 < 2^{\aleph_0}$ that for every complete theory $T$ in a language of size $\aleph_1$, if $T$ has uncountable atomic models but no constructible models, then $T$ has $2^{\aleph_1}$ atomic models of size $\aleph_1$.
