Abstract
We discuss a sequence of numerically constructed geometries describing binary black hole event horizons -- providing the necessary input for characteristic evolution of the exterior spacetime. Our sequence approaches a single Schwarzschild horizon as one limiting case and also includes cases where the horizon's crossover surface is not hidden by a marginally anti-trapped surface (MATS).
